Question
Fill in blanks
1. Activation of Olfactory Receptors: odorants are dissolved in mucus
surrounding olfactory neurons cilia. Odorant-binding proteins transport
odorants through mucus to receptors on the cilia of the olfactory neuron.
Binding of an odorant to the receptor activates a
that
triggers an enzyme, adenylate cyclase, to convert ATP into
(CAMP). CAMP opens ion channels that allow sodium and
calcium ions to enter the cell, which cause depolarization and the generation
of an action potential if threshold is reached. Once action potential is
generated, transduction has occurred.
2. The Olfactory Pathway neural signals carrying olfactory information travel
to various regions of the brain for detection and odor identification. The
olfactory tract is the only sensory pathway that bypasses the
What is the primary olfactory cortex responsible for?
The amygdala, hippocampus, hypothalamus, and components of the limbic
system receive information from the primary olfactory cortex, which evokes
emotional and visceral responses to odors.
Anatomy and Physiology of Taste
A. The gustatory sense (taste) involves chemoreceptors that are stimulated by
various chemicals. Taste begins with stimulation of specialized receptor cells
called
which are small clusters of receptor cells and
supporting cells scattered about the tongue and other surfaces of the oral cavity.
B. Structures of Gustation: Taste Buds. The tongue is covered with rounded
projections called papillae, which can be further classified into four classes based
upon shape:
(circumvallate) papillae,
papillae,
papillae, and
papillae. Taste buds are
usually located on the lateral surfaces of papillae and contain the following three
cell types:
(taste) cells,
cells, and
cells.
