a. Stretch reflex

b. Nerve impulses trigger taste buds and send information to the brain.
c. Taste buds sense taste, and the parietal lobe perceives taste.
d. The tip of the tongue senses sweet, and the periphery senses sour and salty flavours.
Which of the following statements is true?
a. Specific taste buds are located in each area of the tongue thus, can only determine a specific taste.b. The middle tongue contains taste buds which can only determine salty taste.c.
