Salty and sweet senses, like sugar, are mostly tasted at the tip of the tongue. Bitter tastes, like coffee, are sensed at the back of the tongue. Sour tastes, like lemon juice, are sensed at the sides of the tongue, at the middle and toward the front. The average person has about 10,000 taste buds. Theyâre replaced about every two weeks. But as you get older, some of those taste cells donât get replaced. Your grandma or grandpa, for example, may only have about 5,000 working taste buds.
For example, regions of the occipital lobe interpret nerve impulses that come from the sensory receptors of the eyes, and regions of the temporal lobe interpret sensory information from the ears through the nerves that enter the brain in these areas, as shown in Figure below.aste is one of the two main chemical senses, the other being smell. There are at least four types of taste receptors on the tongue. Taste stimuli from each receptor type send information to a different region of the brain. The four well-known receptors detect sweet, salt, sour, and bitter.
