Explanation:

• The human tongue can identify four broad tastes- sweet, salty, bitter and sour.
• The tip of the tongue has maximum receptors for sweet sensation, the root of the tongue near the circumvallate papillae has maximum  sensation for bitter taste, the sides of the tongue have maximum sensation for salty and sour tastes.
• The taste receptors are called taste buds which are concentration of nerve endings specialised to perceive taste and are scattered throughout the tongue.
• A fifth taste, unagi, stands for meaty taste.
