Retching, bitter taste in the mouth with thirst, irritability, insomnia, hypochondriac pain, yellowish tongue coating, wiry and rapid pulse.
Disharmony of qi circulation in the liver and gall bladder channels is due to interior heat retention in the liver and gall bladder. This causes hypochondriac pain, bitter taste in the mouth
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.
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 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).
It has been shown recently by studies that the taste buds for all different tastes are spread evenly over the tongue and no one area is used for any particular tastes
You have alot. Try counting yours. ;)

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.
acid tastes sour and can only be tasted on the sides of your tongue
the tip is sweet, on the very back is bitter, sour is on the side, and salty on the edges. EDIT: Actually, that theory has been disproven a few years ago and it is now known that they are spread throughout the tongue
In a typical human tongue map, the bitter taste receptors are located at the back of the tongue towards the throat. This area is believed to be more sensitive to bitter tastes compared to other regions of the tongue.
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.

Toxic tastes bitter on the tongue. This encourages the body to spit it out as the brain recognizes it as being dangerous to consume.
