How does your tongue detect sweetness?
Taste is detected by sensory receptors (chemoreceptors) in our taste buds, which cover the tongue but are also found in the soft palate of the mouth and the throat. The cranial nerves associated with taste are the glossopharyngeal (VII), facial (IX) and vagus (X) nerves. When the receptors in the taste buds are stimulated by food, impulses are sent along these nerves to the part of the brain where taste is perceived (in the parietal lobe) The area of the tongue which is thought to be most sensitive to sweet tastes is the tip.
