TASTE

 

Taste, gustatory perception, or gustation is one of the five traditional senses.  Taste is the sensation produced when a substance in the mouth reacts chemically with receptors of taste buds.  Taste, along with smell (olfaction) and trigeminal nerve stimulation (which also handles touch for texture, also pain, and temperature), determines flavors, the sensory impressions of food or other substances.

 

Humans perceive taste through sensory organs called taste buds, or gustatory calyculi, concentrated on the top of the tongue.  There are between 2000 and 5000 taste buds that are located on the back and front of the tongue.  Others are located on the roof, sides and back of the mouth, and in the throat.  Each taste bud contains 50 to 100 taste receptor cells.

 

The sensation of taste can be categorized into five basic tastes: sourness, saltiness, umami, sweetness, and bitterness.
