A 1901 study showed that the back of the tongue tasted the bitter, the sides the sour, the front the sweet, and so on. Spicy was not one of the 4 flavors described in that study . . . The newer studies of the tongue with regard to taste have shown that the entire front, top, sides, and back are pretty much equal in what they taste; however, it has been shown that certain parts of the tongue are first to be able to taste certain flavors.
But once there is enough concentration of a substance to be able to taste it at all, all parts of the tongue taste the substance pretty equally. The basic 4 "tastes": sweet, sour, salty, and bitter, are present all over the tongue.
The edges of a tongue. The four basic tastes of a tongue are sweet, sour, salty, and bitter. In the middle of a tongue someone can't really taste anything.
The four basic kinds of tastes are: sweet, salty, sour and bitter. The salty/sweet taste buds are located near the front of the tongue; the sour taste buds line the sides of the tongue; and the bitter taste buds are found at the very back of the tongue. The center of the tongue has few taste buds. Babies have more taste buds than older children and adults. Not only do babies have taste buds on the tongue, but also on the sides and roof of the mouth. Taste buds disappear from the sides and roof of the mouth as a baby gets older, leaving taste buds mostly on the tongue.

Four taste sensations: bitter (back of the tongue) sweet (tip of the tongue) salty (tip of the tongue) sour (sides of the tongue)
Taste is one of the five senses, it uses sensory impressions of food or other substances on the tongue. The taste buds on the tongue help the person taste the food.
The tongue is mostly muscle covered by a mucous membrane. The tongue also has the taste buds.
yes, you can still taste Your taste buds do not connect to a central core prior to sending the chemical compounds to your brain. Splitting the tongue will probably kill quite a few taste buds (not as many as smoking, but still bad). I do believe that taste buds can not heal, but the types are spread throughout your tongue. Each section of the outer area of your tongue has a majority to each taste, such as the tip of your tongue contains mostly sweet sensing tastebuds, but those taste buds are still found throughout your tongue.

The tongue.
Your tongue has taste buds. When you eat something, different sections of your tongue taste it depending on what it is.
They are taste buds, so you can taste all the goodness in your food
Four taste sensations: bitter (back of the tongue) sweet (tip of the tongue) salty (tip of the tongue) sour (sides of the tongue)
Their is an average of 10,000 taste buds on your tongue.
Tongue maps reveal that the tip of the tongue is the part that is the most sensitive to salty taste. However, recent research argues that tongue maps are not valid and that an individual's taste buds experience taste the same.
