Taste buds

Taste buds are actually very interesting. Taste buds are sensory organs that are found on your tongue and allow you to experience tastes that are sweet, salty, sour, and bitter.Taste buds have very sensitive hairs on them called microvilla. These tiny hairs are what makes you taste. They send signals to your brain telling it if its sweet, sour, salty etc. The average person has about 10,000 taste buds and they're replaced every 2 weeks or so but they decrease as you get older that's why certain foods may taste stronger to you than they do to adults. Smoking also can reduce the number of taste buds a person has. Taste buds are very interesting.
