Question

The bumps present in our tongue are called papillae and they help us to taste food.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

$\bullet$ The tongue has bumps that are called papillae. We have around 10000 taste buds on our tongue.
$\bullet$ The food is crushed by our teeth. When these crushed food particles attach themselves to the taste buds, the taste buds send signals to the brain that help us to recognise the taste.
