We Have Taste Buds in Our Throat?
Do we... or do we not?
What others say...
My Research
My conclusion
EXTRA
1.You can't see your taste buds.
The little bumps you see when you open you're mouth are not taste buds, they are fungiform papillae.
2.Not everyone has the same amount of taste buds in their mouth.
People can have up to 2,000 to 10,000. Those who have 10,000 taste buds are known as "Super Tasters".
3.Taste and flavor are not the same thing.
Taste is what you're taste buds pick up, sweet, sour, bitter, and salty. Flavor is a combination of taste and smell.
4.Taste buds are designed to keep you alive.
Taste buds are designed to tell your brain what and what not to swallow. Therefor keeping you from choking.
5.Taste buds always regenerate.
Taste buds are like humans, they live and die. But when taste buds die, more grow in. But even though you get older, this process never ends. "Which is why taste does not diminish with age."
