The average human has about 10,000 taste buds; however, they're not all on the tongue. Some are under the tongue; some are on the inside of the cheeks; some are on the roof of the mouth. Some can even be found on the lips; these are especially sensitive to salt.
Taste occurs over the whole surface of the tongue. Certain areas of the tongue may be more sensitive to one of the five tastes humans can register: sweet, bitter, salt, sour, and savory (like garlic).
