what is inside tongue?
It is mostly muscle, for moving food around the mouth, and helping with swallowing. It plays a vital role in speech.
It also has taste buds for detecting various chemicals in the food.

How does it taste the fruit water?
There are taste buds on the surface of the tongue that react to different chemicals in the food.
It is combined with the sense of smell in the nose, from odor chemicals in the food.
The brain combines these signals with other sensations like "mouth feel" to identify the food, and estimate its energy content and fat content, and to prepare the rest of the digestive system to process it.

How does the brain send the food to a different part of human body?
All the food takes the same path down the digestive tract, through stomach and intestines.
However, different chemicals are absorbed from the food through the walls of the digestive tract. These pass into the bloodstream, which travels around the entire body.
Cells in different parts of the body take what they need from the blood supply.
If demand from part of the body increases (eg due to muscle exertion, or mental exertion), blood supply increases to that part of the body.

Hey. I really like this forum. Here you can see unusual questions and find unusual answers. About the only interest that a person has in the language, when something abnormal occurs; for example, when there is pain or there is some unusual taste factor when there is a burning sensation from excessive heating, accidental bite or when exposed to strong aromas that are spicy, bitter, sweet, sour, etc.
Since the human language usually remains out of sight, it is not considered as valuable as other sensory parts of the body, but if people think that they can do without their languages, they should reevaluate this delusion.
For example, when a person pushes a tongue out of his mouth and gently squeezes it between his teeth, then if that person tries to talk, let him / she see that speech under such circumstances can be understood.
The tongue is especially important when chewing or chewing food, rolling it in the mouth, so these materials are evenly broken and become more acceptable for the stomach for digestion. The tongue helps in swallowing, when the front part is pressed against the hard sky in the roof of the mouth. This is followed by the back of the rearguard, pushing food into the passage leading to the esophagus.
Although this may seem like a simple activity, it is really a necessary function that is carried out by the nerves and is performed by complex muscles. A person usually knows how to swallow before birth, which shows how important the swallowing reflex is for its existence.
Saying is another consideration, because a person must be trained in such unusual neuromuscular actions. The child usually experiments with sounds for two or more years before he can make simple sentences. As people grow older, the language can flex itself into many different forms for more complex expressions.
I hope I helped you.
