Answer 1

The correct option is C Tongue

• Taste is the sensation produced when a substance in the mouth reacts chemically with taste receptor cells located on taste buds.
• Taste, along with smell (olfaction) and trigeminal nerve stimulation (registering texture, pain, and temperature), determines flavors of food or other substances.
• Humans have taste receptors on taste buds (gustatory calyculi) and other areas including the upper surface of the tongue and the epiglottis.
• The sensation of taste can be categorized into five basic tastes: sweetness, sourness, saltiness, bitterness, and umami.
  Hence, correct option is C.
