What part of the tongue tastes salty flavors?

Question

If I asked a real question that had a real answer (like this one), how many honest answers would I get (from people not just goofing around) that would 100% dead wrong. How many people read the details? Well answer the question above and let's see who gives me the correct answers.

The part of the tongue that tastes salt... come on people... looking for the right answer....

Answer 1

The taste buds for salty tastes are all over the tongue. We can taste salt on every part of the tongue.

Answer 2

Sensitivity to all tastes is distributed across the whole tongue and indeed to other regions of the mouth where there are taste buds. Hence, the taste buds for salty tastes are all over the tongue. We can taste salt on every part of the tongue. But some areas are more responsive to certain tastes than others.

Answer 3

Check this out, the very tip of your tounge has the sense of sweet tastes. Now, to the left and right of that, behind your sweet glands are the buds that send your brain waves of a salty taste. So that is where your salty taste is from. Yes this could spawn some funny answers! LOL
