Question
Chapter 10, Problem 14RQ
Summary Introduction
To determine: The five basic tastes.
Introduction: The tongue, which is a part of sensory organs, is responsible for detecting various tastes. The tongue contains numerous taste buds which help in detecting various types of tastes that are present in food.
Summary Introduction
To determine: The adaptive significance of each taste sensation
Introduction: The tongue represents the muscular organ in the mouth. The tissues of tongue are composed of mucosa layer. There are a number of receptors present on the surface of tongue which are responsible in recognizing the taste of a substance.
