One of the places where taste receptors are found is on the tongue. These can be mapped. Sweet is usually found in greater numbers on the tip.

What part of the tongue can detect sweet taste?

All of it. The 'tongue map' taught widely in schools, was meant to show which part of the tongue tasted what. According to the map, the tip of the tongue tastes sweet things while at the back tastes bitter things. The sides were for tasting salt and sour. This was based off German research published in 1901 but a person at Harvard University mistranslated it. The original research showed that the areas had relative sensitivity to the 'four basic tastes' while the mistranslated version showed that they could only be tasted in one zone.

Why do you have cracks in your tongue?

A tongue that is constantly peeling for almost no reason at all is called a geographical tongue. Geographic tongue is a harmless (benign) oral condition that gives your tongue a map-like, or geographic, appearance. The distinct look of geographic tongue occurs when parts of your tongue are missing the layer of small bumps called papillae. This causes irregularly shaped smooth, red patches to form on parts of your tongue, like a rash. Although geographic tongue may look alarming, it doesn't cause any health problems and isn't associated with infection or cancer. Geographic tongue is usually painless but can sometimes cause tongue discomfort and increased sensitivity to certain substances. Geographic tongue often heals in one area and then moves (migrates) to a different part of your tongue. Geographic tongue is also known as benign migratory glossitis. If you have further issues that are of concern please contact your doctor as soon as possible.
