2. The surface of the tongue has groups of cells known as taste buds
which are sensitive to taste.
3. There are four types of taste buds on the tongue sensitive to sweet ,
bitter, sour and salty.
4. The tongue detects taste in the following way:

Dissolved substance → taste receptors → message →brain → type of
taste

5. The sense of smell helps the sense of taste .This explains why food
dose not taste appetizing when we have a cold or flu because we
cannot smell effectively
