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.
The eyes, nose, skin and tongue HAVE sensory receptors.
The eyes, nose, skin and tongue HAVE sensory receptors.
The taste receptors on the tongue are classified into five categories: sweet, salty, sour, bitter, and umami. These receptors are responsible for detecting different qualities of taste in the foods we consume.
The tongue's receptors are taste buds. They are specialized to detect flavors, and are divided into two types, sweet and bitter receptors. They can detect perceptions of flavors in five types; salty, sweet, bitter, sour, and umani (savory).
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.

gustatory receptors
The eyes, nose, skin and tongue HAVE sensory receptors.
The sensory receptors for the tongue are taste buds, which detect different tastes such as sweet, sour, salty, bitter, and umami. Taste buds are located within papillae on the surface of the tongue. Additionally, the tongue also contains sensory receptors for touch, temperature, and pain.
Well, all parts of the human body has receptors. Those receptors connect with nerves and sends electrical and chemical impulses to your brain. Receptors include: skin, tongue, ears, eyes, etc.

The taste receptors on the tongue are classified into five categories: sweet, salty, sour, bitter, and umami. These receptors are responsible for detecting different qualities of taste in the foods we consume.
Most are located on the dorsal surface of the tongue. A few are found on the soft palate, epiglottis, pharynx, and inner surface of the cheeks.
Receptors for taste are classified as gustatory receptors, while receptors for olfaction are classified as olfactory receptors. Gustatory receptors are found on taste buds located on the tongue, while olfactory receptors are found in the nasal cavity.
if i understand what you are saying, then the answer is taste buds.
