Question
Explain the different centers of taste sensation.

Answer

  • There are four centers of taste on the tongue.
(1) Bitter: Located at the back of the tongue.
(2) Sour: Located on both sides of the tongue.
(3) Saline: Located on the entire surface of the tongue.
(4) Sweet: The tongue is twisted.
  • The rest of the flavors are made up of a mixture of two or more flavors.
  • Taste adaptations are also found in the taste buds: the substance that looks salty in the first bite gradually becomes less salty.
