Summary
Taste detection begins with taste buds on the tongue and other mouth areas. Each taste bud contains receptor cells for sweet, salty, sour, bitter, and umami flavors. When food molecules bind to these receptors, signals are sent to the brain, where taste is recognized. Smell also significantly influences flavor perception.
