Your Sense of Taste By Cindy Grigg

---

¹     You taste with your tongue. Taste helps you enjoy food. Tasting relies on the sense of smell. The taste of food mostly depends on your sense of smell.
 
²     You put a bit of food into your mouth. Your teeth begin to break the food into small pieces. Your saliva dissolves the food. Then the dissolved food enters the taste buds through a pore in the center of them.
 
³     Look in a mirror at your tongue. See the bumps on it? Each bump has many taste buds. An average person has about ten thousand taste buds. Nerves inside the taste buds send messages to your brain. Your brain then tells you what you taste.
