Our ability to taste depends not only on our taste buds, but also on the movement of our tongues. By pushing food around our mouths, our tongues spread food over our taste buds.
Our sense of taste is strongly wedded to our sense of smell. Indeed, these senses are so co-dependent that the loss of one often results in the loss of the other. While smell disorders are more common more than 3 million Americans have them, taste disoders affect almost 2 million.
The taste of food is determined not only by its flavor but also by its texture, temperature, and smell.
