Annotation
The article presents the results of studying the speed and sensitivity of the onset of taste sensation. The relevance of the work is that the violation of taste perception prevents a person from correctly and fully perceiving the surrounding reality. Accordingly, the study of the characteristics of the taste analyzer is very relevant and significant. Proper operation of taste buds can help avoid various poisonings, identify disorders in taste perception. The speed of taste sensation occurrence was studied by a drop method using solutions of bitter wormwood, sucrose, citric acids and table salt, the time of taste sensation occurrence was determined with a stopwatch, taste intensity was determined on a five-point scale. The sensitivity of the taste analyzer and the speed of sensation were carried out on different areas of the tongue (tip, edges and base). It is shown that salty irritant has the shortest time interval before taste appearance, and bitter irritant has the longest time interval before taste sensation appearance. The study showed that there is a slight weakening of the sensitivity of taste buds with an increase in the age of the subjects. It was also revealed that young men are the most susceptible to salty and itter taste, while girls are the most susceptible to sweet and sour.
