there is actually no specific sections on the tongue regarding sour, bitter, sweet. These taste buds are scattered throughout your whole tongue. There are no receptors for Chile/spicy, these are actually pain receptors. You test this on your own. Place a sour candy on any part of your tongue and you will taste sour.

All four can be in use at once. Shades of subtle variation between them give us the sense of what food we are eating.
