Taste Buds are Found Mainly _______

Question

Taste buds are found mainly _______.
A) in papillae on the tongue
B) in the olfactory epithelium
C) within the utricle
D) along the olfactory nerve

Accepted Answer

Taste buds are mainly found on the papillae on the tongue, which are small elevations on the surface of the tongue. While olfactory receptors in the nose are also involved in the sense of taste, they are not strictly considered taste buds. The utricle is a part of the inner ear that plays a role in balance and spatial orientation, and the olfactory nerve is involved in the sense of smell.
