 Taste is the ability to respond to dissolved molecules and ions (as contrasted with the sense of smell which detects airborne molecules). Humans detect taste with taste receptor cells. These are clustered in taste buds. Each taste bud has a pore that opens out to the surface of the tongue enabling molecules and ions taken into the mouth to reach the receptor cells inside.
I hope the taste of these articles please you!
