If you taste all over your tongue equally why are there different types of taste buds?
Each part of your tongue has different taste buds, which react to different substances. We do not taste everything evenly on our tongues; sweet things (i.e. sugar) get tasted at the front/tip, sour things toward the back and salts and bitter flavours (bases, I think) to the sides. The middle has only a few of each.

What 4 groups are human taste buds divided into?
The front taste buds taste salty and sweet foods. The sides of your tongue taste sour foods. The taste buds on the back of your tongue taste bitter foods.
Are taste buds more sensitive to different flavors on different parts of the tongue?
Supposedly, there are different types of taste buds on different areas of the tongue. It is hard to actually prove this, since your saliva spreads the taste all over. Some scientists feel that this is not true anyway, but you can experiment. Get four samples of tastes - sweet, bitter, salt, and sour (make sure they are fairly wet samples because you will be drying your tongue off!). Stick out your tongue and dry it off with a paper towel. Then touch a drop of each taste to different spots on your tongue. The traditional spots are: * Bitter - back of the tongue * Sweet - front of tongue * Sour - one spot on each side of the tongue toward the front * Salt - one spot on each side of the tongue toward the back

If you split your tongue can you still taste?
yes, you can still taste Your taste buds do not connect to a central core prior to sending the chemical compounds to your brain.

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.
What are the different tongue types and how do they affect speech and taste perception?
There are four main types of tongues: filiform, fungiform, foliate, and circumvallate. Each type has different numbers of taste buds and papillae, which can affect taste perception. The distribution of these taste buds on the tongue can also impact how we perceive different tastes. Additionally, the shape and size of the tongue can affect speech by influencing the movement and placement of the tongue during articulation.
