Taste,Talk & Eating

Taste,Talk & Eating 🤔

Do you know how  your tongue helps you with tasting, eating and talking?  
All the papillae  in your tongue is really sensitive for kids because they
\have twice as many papillae but the adult’s they have less than us children,
so they might not have the same taste as children.

These are some parts of our tongue:  
The first one is the papilla, it is surrounded with some
little things called  taste buds & also little hairs called microvilli
that helps us taste too. Now we are heading to the other part of
the tongue called olfactory nerves/ olfactory receptors, it helps us by
signaling our brain and telling the brain what we are eating if it smells delicious or gross.

When you have a cold, doesn't it feel weird when you eat and also smell?
Well did you know your tongue is connected to your nose and also
the smell particles from your food is called molecules. If there is a big blob
of snot the smell/oduors can’t reach the olfactory receptors so the brain doesn't
know what we are taking.

Today was a journey I found out that kids have twice more
papillaes than adults because adults are grown and more and more  papillaes are dying.
