Unit 5

In this unit we dived in to the different parts of the ear, tongue and eyes.
One of the most interesting things I learned was about the different parts of the tongue and how the taste buds detect different tastes like sour, sweet, bitter and salty.

 
 
I find it really strange that there are different sides of the tongue that can detect the different types of tastes, so in order to better understand this I looked up the following video that illustrates out taste buds in .
 
 
The next video also helps to simplify even further how our taste buds work
