Speak Out: Supreme Court, White Sox and Chicago's budget It's a sad and frightening day in the history of our democracy when United States senators can rewrite the rules midstream to approve a Supreme Court justice. Changing the rules is what we did as children playing games on the school ground.
Sweet Taste in Mouth. Sweet taste in your mouth is the condition by which one gets the feeling of sweet taste lingering on his mouth continuously, without eating any sweets. It is good to enjoy the natural taste of food, but getting the sweet taste continuously can be annoying.
The tongue is a muscular organ in the mouth. The tongue is covered with moist, pink tissue called mucosa. Tiny bumps called papillae give the tongue its rough texture. Thousands of taste buds cover the surfaces of the papillae. Taste buds are collections of nerve-like cells that connect to nerves running into the brain. The tongue is anchored to the mouth by webs of tough tissue and mucosa. The tether holding down the front of the tongue is called the frenum. In the back of the mouth, the tongue is anchored into the hyoid bone. The tongue is vital for chewing and swallowing food, as well as for speech. The four common tastes are sweet, sour, bitter, and salty. A fifth taste, called umami, results from tasting glutamate (present in MSG).
