The tongue has taste buds to detect different flavors, which are essential for identifying nutritious food and avoiding harmful substances. These specialized sensory cells respond to five primary taste modalities: sweet, sour, salty, bitter, and umami. By providing this sensory feedback, taste buds play a crucial role in digestion and overall food intake regulation. Additionally, they contribute to the enjoyment of eating, influencing dietary choices and habits.
