As mentioned above, the tongue mixes the food with saliva. As the saliva mixes it is also spreading the solutions and chemicals from the food into the grooves between the papillae on the tongue. The taste buds are located on the papillae and the taste receptors respond to the chemicals from the food. When triggered, the receptors send impulses along the nerves in the tongue up to the brain for processing.
