- Five different types of taste receptors have been identified in humans. These are salty, sour, sweet, bitter and umami. Taste receptors consist of specific types of proteins incorporated into the plasma membrane of taste receptor cells, which are clustered together in structures called taste buds. All five receptor types are present in each taste bud, which are distributed over most of the tongue surface area. Olfactory receptors are located in the nasal cavity and consist of several thousand different types, each type specific for a different odorant molecule (ligand). If you plug your nose, red wine and coffee taste exactly the same. Explain why this is so.arrow_forwardFive different types of taste receptors have been identified in humans.

They would give a persistent signal independent of their concentration in the environment if they were not rapidly modified. Propose a mechanism for converting hydrophobic odorants into watersoluble derivatives that can be rapidly eliminated.arrow_forward
- The olfactory system has many receptor types but the transduction process is very similar in each receptor type. What do these transduction processes all have in common? They all use G protein-coupled receptors. They are all linked to a particular gustatory (taste) receptor type. O They all use ionotropic receptors. O They all involve temporarily hyperpolarizing the receptors, rather than depolarizing them.arrow_forwardListed below are the various components of the olfactory transduction process: 1. Golf G-protein 2. Voltage-gated sodium channel 3. Calcium-activated chloride channel 4. CAMP-gated ion channel 5. Adenylyl cyclase Which of the following is the correct order in which these components are activated? 2; 1; 5; 4; 3 5; 1; 4; 3; 2 1; 5; 4; 2; 3 3; 2; 1; 5; 4arrow_forwardTaste cells form chemical synapses with afferent neurites that make up the gustatory cranial nerve.

- Discuss the location and activation of olfactory receptors and how the brain distinguishes tens of thousands of odours from 1,000 or fewer receptor proteins.arrow_forwardA specific pattern of activation is observed in the right hemisphere piriform cortex in response to a specific smell. Which of the following choices must be true? Group of answer choices a - The pattern of activation across the glomeruli in the left olfactory bulb mirrors the pattern of activation observed in the right hemisphere piriform cortex. b - The activity in the right hemisphere piriform cortex was independent of the number of odorant molecules that entered the olfactory epithelium. c - The odorant molecules that made up the smell were of different shapes and therefore activated different receptors in the right nostril, creating a unique pattern that is conserved first across the olfactory bulb, then along the olfactory tract, then within the thalamus, and then finally in the right hemisphere piriform cortex. d - The activity in the right hemisphere piriform was initiated by the binding of odorant molecules to G-protein coupled receptors in the right nostril.arrow_forwardDescribe the path of nerve impulses from olfactory receptors to the parts of the brain to be processed.arrow_forward
