INTRODUCTION:
The mouth is otherwise known as oral cavity or buccal cavity.It is formed by cheeks,lips and palate.It encloses the teeth ,tongue and salivary glands.Our tongue contains about 10 thousand taste buds which are located in the walls of the papillae.

When food is taken into the mouth (sugar crystals ) and you  can judge the taste as shown in the following flowchart

           Food (sugar crystals)
                           |
         mouth (buccal cavity)
                           |
           Saliva (secreted by salivary glands)
                           |
             Dissolve food substances
                            |
             Enter into taste buds or taste pore
                             |
               Gustatory receptors
                             |
                   Nerve fibers(each receptors)
                             |
                     Carry impulses to Brain
                              |
                      Processing and analysing
                               |
                      judge out taste ie.,sweet.

All these occur with in fraction of seconds and we can able to judge the taste.
