Taste buds are small structures on the upper surface of the tongue, soft palate, and epiglottis that provide information about the taste of food being eaten.
The human tongue has about 10,000 taste buds.

They are not taste buds!! See all those bumps? Those are called papillae, and most of them contain taste buds. *Most is the key word* so its not a good idea to say taste buds just because all are not taste buds... I hope this helps.. check out the links for more information!
The tongue is normally covered by tiny bumps that are called papillae. If this isn't what you are referring to, have the person go to a dentist and see what's wrong if this is a person you are wondering about.
do they stop hurting ever or do you have to get them removed?
they are papplia. i look at them every day !
the largest ones at the back of the tounge are called fungiform pappllia.when you look at them under a microscope they look like mushrooms !
smaller ones further forward are called filiform.
yes they have taste bud functions and you find that depending on the location they pick up different tastes eg at the front sour ant the back bitter.they are operated by two of the cranial nerves
tast buds they send messegs to ur brain to tell i what the food ur eating tast like
Where does your tongue sit when it isn't being used?
There are 3 types of papilla. Fungiform (tastebuds) taste the 4 general flavors: Sweet, Salty, Sour, Bitter. Filiform are hairlike structures that pick up the sensations of food (touch). And the third is Circum (Vallate) theses are the really big ones on the back of the tongue near the base, and the Circum (follate) are on the lateral borders of your tongue.
filiform papillae, fungiform papillae and circumvallate papillae... they help u taste....
Commoners call them tastebuds, but they are actually...flavor probes.
