Taste buds are adapted to detect five primary taste modalities: sweet, sour, salty, bitter, and umami. They contain specialized sensory cells, called taste receptor cells, which respond to specific molecules in food. Additionally, taste buds are distributed across the tongue and other areas of the oral cavity, enhancing the ability to discern flavors. Their structure allows for rapid regeneration, maintaining sensitivity and function throughout an individual's life.
