Question

The back of the tongue is sensitive to ______________ stimuli.
a. Sour
b.Bitter
c. Salty
d.Sweet

Answer 1

Answer:

Sweet, sour, salty, bitter and savory tastes can actually be sensed by all parts of the tongue. Only the sides of the tongue are more sensitive than the middle overall. This is true of all tastes – with one exception: the back of our tongue is very sensitive to bitter tastes.
