Taste buds, the main receptor for taste stimuli, are located in the papillae scattered throughout the mouth. They are so small that they are visible only with a microscope. A person's tongue has about 10,000 taste buds. The number of taste buds a person has decreases with age, especially after 65 or so.
Taste, along with smell (olfaction) and trigeminal nerve stimulation (registering texture, pain, and temperature), determines flavors of food or other substances. Humans have taste receptors on taste buds (gustatory calyculi) and other areas including the upper surface of the tongue and the epiglottis.The tongue is covered with thousands of small bumps called papillae, which are visible to the naked eye. Within each papilla are hundreds of taste buds.ach taste bud contains 50 to 100 taste receptor cells. The sensation of taste can be categorized into five basic tastes: sweetness, sourness, saltiness, bitterness, and umami.
