The Tongue

The Tongue

Recap

• The tongue is a muscular sense organ used for tasting, swallowing and talking.

• The small bumps on the tongue are called papillae, which contain many tiny taste buds.

• There are five tastes that can be detected by the receptors present in the taste buds; sweet,salty,sour,bitter and the newly discoverd umami.

• We need our tongue to produce certain sounds so we can speak.

• Our nose works together with our tongue so we can taste foods.
