Bitter taste buds are found at the back of the tongue. Sweet/salty taste buds are in the front of the tongue, sour taste buds are on both sides whereas the middle of the tongue has very few taste buds at all.
Yes, the posterior third of the tongue contains taste buds responsible for detecting certain taste sensations. These taste buds are mainly sensitive to bitter tastes and are located in the circumvallate papillae at the back of the tongue.
Sensory receptors on the tongue are primarily located in the taste buds, which are housed within the papillae on the surface of the tongue. These taste buds contain specialized cells that detect different taste sensations - sweet, salty, sour, bitter, and umami.
no but you can burn them severely to where you can tell they are not working actually there are a few viruses that cause you to lose your taste bud--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Yes. your taste buds CAN fall of your tongue. If you burnt your tongue or if you ate too much salty foods. But it will grow back. So don't worry if it ever happens to you..... ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
There are different types of receptors on the tongue. The tongue has it's very own set of touch receptors. Plus thousands of taste receptors scattered all through out the tongue, mouth and throat. There is a myth that certain areas of the tongue taste certain flavors, but that is completely false. It stemmed from a poorly translated antiquated German model.
A popular myth assigns these different tastes to different regions of the tongue; in reality these tastes can be detected by any area of the tongue. On average, the human tongue has 2,000-8,000 taste buds. The taste receptor cells send information detected by clusters of various receptors and ion channels to the gustatory areas of the brain via the seventh, ninth and tenth cranial nerves.
that are snot It is not snot it is actually your taste-buds that are on your tongue.
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.
Rays have a tongue-like structure, but it's rudimentary and doesn't have taste buds in any case. In rays and sharks, taste buds line the entire mouth.
It has been shown recently by studies that the taste buds for all different tastes are spread evenly over the tongue and no one area is used for any particular tastes

The odd shaped bumps on the side of your tongue don't sound like any medical problem. These bumps are your taste buds.
taste buds are used for tasting, if we didn't have taste buds then we would not taste any flavors at all. it is one of our 5 senses.
Yes, cows do have a sense of taste. They also have different types of taste buds.
Taste is detected by sensory receptors (chemoreceptors) in our taste buds, which cover the tongue but are also found in the soft palate of the mouth and the throat. The cranial nerves associated with taste are the glossopharyngeal (VII), facial (IX) and vagus (X) nerves. When the receptors in the taste buds are stimulated by food, impulses are sent along these nerves to the part of the brain where taste is perceived (in the parietal lobe) The area of the tongue which is thought to be most sensitive to sweet tastes is the tip.
