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.

∙ 13y agoIn reality, all qualities of taste can be elicited from all the regions of the tongue that contain taste buds. At present, we have no evidence that any kind of spatial segregation of sensitivities contributes to the neural representation of taste quality, although there are some slight differences in sensitivity across the tongue and palate, especially in rodents
