Research has show that the tongue actually doesn't have specific spots for taste. Originally it was thought the back of the tongue was exclusive to bitter tastes.
Acids taste sour, alkaline substances taste bitter.
The five basic tastes are sweet, sour, salty, bitter, and umami. Sweetness is associated with sugars, sourness with acidity, saltiness with salts, bitterness with alkaloids, and umami with glutamates. These tastes are detected by taste buds on the tongue.
The human tongue has taste receptors that are specialized to detect different tastes - sweet, salty, sour, bitter, and umami. These taste receptors are clustered in specific regions on the tongue, with each region being more sensitive to a specific taste. This specialization allows us to detect and differentiate between different tastes in our food.
The special structures on the tongue that allow us to experience different tastes are called taste buds. Each taste bud contains cells that detect the basic tastes of sweet, sour, salty, bitter, and umami (savory).
The tongue is the body part that can recognize the four basic tastes of sweet, salty, sour, and bitter. Taste buds located on the tongue detect these tastes, which are then sent to the brain for interpretation.
