Human Taste Buds |
||||||
 |

|
||||||
| Seen here at 75 times their size, human taste buds line the surface of the tongue and portions of the mouth. Taste buds pick up only four sensations (sweet, sour, salty, and bitter), but these are combined with the sense of smell to give various foods their unique tastes. | ||||||
