Sense of taste refers to the ability to detect different flavors and tastes through taste buds on the tongue. It allows us to perceive sweet, sour, salty, bitter, and umami sensations.
These are small sensory organs located on the tongue that contain receptors for detecting different tastes.
Papillae are tiny bumps on the surface of the tongue where taste buds are found.
Gustatory Cortex: This is the part of the brain responsible for processing information related to taste.
