Question

Which of the following sensations located at the back portion of the tongue?

• A. Sweet
• B. Bitter
• C. Sour

Answer 1

Reason: Taste buds contain the taste receptor cells, also known as gustatory cells. The taste receptors are located around the small structures known as papillae found on the upper surface of the tongue, soft palate, upper esophagus, the cheek, and epiglottis. These structures are involved in detecting the elements of taste perception like salty, sour, bitter, sweet etc. The back portion of the tongue detects the bitter perception of teste. So the correct option is B.
