Sweetness was previously believed to reside only at the tip, however newer research shows that taste occurs for all five sensations over the entire surface of the tongue.
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.
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).
You have alot. Try counting yours. ;)
Taste buds are the primary structures on the human tongue that allow us to detect different chemicals as tastes. These taste buds contain taste receptors that can distinguish between sweet, sour, bitter, salty, and umami tastes. The taste receptors send signals to the brain to interpret the flavor of the food or drink we are consuming.
The four basic tastes are bitter tastes, sweet/sugary tastes, salty tastes and sour tastesSweet, Salty, Sour and Bitter.

Different regions of the tongue are sensitive to different tastes: sweet at the tip, sour at the sides, salty on the front sides, and bitter at the back. However, all taste buds can detect all flavors, and taste perception is a complex interaction that involves all regions of the tongue.
The olfactory receptors in the nose detect odors, not the tongue. The tongue is responsible for detecting tastes through taste buds, which are sensitive to sweet, salty, bitter, sour, and umami flavors.

There are different taste buds in our tongue. There is sweet at the front, salty at the middle, and bitter and sour all way further to the end of your tongue. So when we eat certain types of food, such as cucumber, which is sweet in our tongue, our other taste buds do not function yet but our sweet taste bud does.

The five primary tastes that we can detect are sweet, sour, salty, bitter, and umami. These tastes are detected by taste receptors on the tongue that bind to specific chemicals in food.
Different areas of the human tongue have sensitivities to different tastes. Each of these areas contains proportionately more of certain chemoreceptors. Typically, the middle-front of the tongue is more sensitive to sweet tastes, the sides to salty tastes, the center-back to sour tastes, and the very back to bitter tastes.
