Answer» the food।।।।।।।।FunctionThe tongue consists of eight interwoven, striated MUSCLES that can move in any direction, making it quite flexible. Throughout the muscles are glands and fat, while the outside is covered by a mucus membrane. The TOP of the tongue, also called the dorsum, is covered with papillae, tiny nodes that contain the taste buds and the serous glands.The serous glands secrete some of the fluid found in saliva, while the taste buds taste food through receptors that send information to the brain. Receptors are nerve endings that have a chemical reaction to the food that is being eaten. There are DIFFERENT REACTORS for different types of flavors, and there are AROUND 50 to 150 taste receptor cells inside each taste bud, according to Encyclopedia Britannica. |
