This organ is called the Tongue. It detects the five basic tastes which are; Sweet; Salty; Bitter; Sour; Umami (a recently discovered region, umami translates roughly to "delisciousness"). The sensory innervation of the tongue is split into the two parts. The anterior (front) 2/3 of the tingue is innervated by the Facial (Cn vii) nerve and the posterios (back) 1/3 is innervated by the Glossopharyngeal Nerve (Cn ix). The motor inervation of all the tongue muscles, exept the Palatoglossus muscle, comes from the Hypoglossal Nerve (Cn xii). The palatoglussus muscle is innervated by Accessory nervy (Cn xi).
