What two genes cause the perception of sweet
T1r2 & t1r3
What genes code for Unami
T1r1 & t1r3
What receptors for taste use GCPR‘s and TRP channels
Sweet Unami and bitter TRCs use GCPRs whereas all three also used TRP channels
What GCPR‘s use the G inhibitory proteins in the gustatory system
Type 2 taste receptor cells use gustducin which is a GQ and the receptors on type two TRC‘s (TR ones and TR twos) are gcprs
What is a GCPRthe activates GS is the means to affect intracellular events?
Olfactory receptor proteins golf is a GS
What 2 receptors use members of the TRP family of channels
Type 2 taste receptor cells (TRPM5) and type 3 taste receptor cells
What are the two features in the response of a neuronal population that make up an intensive code for any sensory system
The number of neurons firing action potentials and the number of action potentials each neuron fires make up an intensive coat
If the narrow neurons are saturated, what activity in other populations of olfactory sensory neurons allows us to detect higher concentrations of the same odorant?
Olfactory sensory neurons more broadly to to odorant molecules – one with lower affinity for the specific odorant molecule
What type of tastant does the class of type two TRC‘s respond to
Sweet bitter and Unami
How can we be sure that the activation of PLC and the production of IP three releasing calcium from the smooth endoplasmic reticulum is not sufficient for the drive of the release of ATP?
Knock out the key RPM5 channel and a mouse cannot taste sweet bitter or Unami
What gene is missing when sweet cannot be tasted
The Gene for T1 R2
What are two channels that are absolutely necessary for an olfactory sensory neuron to be able to send information to neurons in the olfactory bulb and where do we find these channels?
Calcium regulated chlorine channel (ANO2) in the cilia and voltage gated sodium channels of the axon hillock/initial segment
What type of taste receptor cell is silence as a result of the knockout of the TPM 5 gene
Class two taste receptor cells
What type of receptor proteins do class 2 taste receptor cells use?
T1rs (R 1–3) and T2ts are all GCPRS
What two other genes when deleted would have the same effect as the deletion of the TPM 5 gene
PLC beta two and gustducin and CALHM1 (knocking out the IP3 receptor and P2 X would have a much bigger effect than simply shutting down the class 2 taste receptor cells)
What intracellular messenger molecule is necessary for the proper guidance of olfactory sensory neurons
Calcium
What is the general sensory transduction pathway
Receptor cells two receptor molecule to transduction channel 2 receptor potential to spike train to transmitter release
Which receptors can generate action potentials and which receptors cannot generate action potential
Short receptors like taste receptor cells cannot generate action potentials but they signal neurons closer to them. Olfactory sensory neurons are long and they can generate action potential‘s. 
What are the two functions of the gustatory system?z
One. Stimulate eating a fish that provide a source of energy, protein, and salt. Two. Drive an animal to avoid items that might be poisonous or contaminated by bacteria
What are the three types of Papile
Fungi.form, foliate, and circumvallate
What are the three cell types of a taste but
Taste receptor cell, supporting cells, and basal cells
What is a taste receptor cell and what does he do?
They stick micro villi into the only opening of the bud, called a taste pore, which is the route by which saliva and molecules dissolved in it can reach the taste receptor cells
What do supporting cells of the taste bud do
They form an outer envelope for the bud
What do basil cells of the taste bud do
They serve as progenitors for taste receptor cells, which are short-lived and easily damaged due to various insults
What chain allows us to taste bitter phenylthiourea?
T2R-38;
What high population of pappillae allows for super tasting
Fungiform
Why do super tasters die young
They are only attracted to sweet things and repel by bitter things like healthy foods for example broccoli
What are type one cells
They respond selectively to sodium concentration therefore they are salty taste receptors
How are Type 1 cells like astrocytes glial lik
They extract K+ from extracellular fluid by expressing GLAST
What are the three sub types of type number 2 taste receptor cells
One has receptors for suite one has receptors for Unami and a third binds to bitter
What do you type three taste receptor cells do
They can detect the hydronium concentration so they are sour taste receptors
What phase determines which functional type a taste receptor cell becomes
It depends on the local environment during the terminal S phase
When does the basal cell populations stop growing in decline by 1%
35
What happens after type two cells find a molecule
It stimulates the gustatory inhibitory gustducin and the beta gamma subunit turns on PLC beta two in generates I P3 to open calcium channels on the smooth endoplasmic reticulum which opens T RPMs
The opening of what channel leads to depolarization in action potential generation and type to taste receptor cells
TRPM5
Oh what is released as the result of type number to action potentials
ATP
Where does ATP release from
It releases from the base of the taste receptor cell
What channel is required for ATP release
Voltage gated sodium channels are required to bring the potential to or above +10 mV
Where are the ATP channels that allow ATP to move out from a taste receptor cell
Voltage gated CALHM1 channels
How can you block sodium channels
Tetrodotoxin is a sodium antagonist
What happens to ATP release if sodium channels are blocked
Atp release is also blocked
What happens if there is a C aLHM one null mutation
A mouse will be insensitive to Sweet Unami or bitter but shower and salty will stay intact
What is the general taste transduction pathway in type number to taste receptor cells
Receptors to G- routine (GUSTDUC IN) goes to PLC beta two goes to TRP M5
What is the Janne tropic receptor that ATP buns to
P2 X
What reaction does the enzyme PLC beta to catalyze
The breakdown of PIP 2 and two DAG and IP3
