Q

Which receptors can generate action potentials and which receptors cannot generate action potential

A

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.

Hydronium entrance the taste receptor cell through the OTOP one channel, which lowers intercellular pH. Low pH leads to the close of potassium channels, which causes to polarization and subsequent action potentials

62
Q

What happens when you delete both ENAC Alpha genes in mutant mice

A

The mice cannot distinguish between salt and pure water so they like both equally

63
Q

What evidence does the mic is leaking pure water and salt equally provide

A

It provides half of the evidence for a label line theory because ENAC is necessary but it doesn’t provide evidence that is sufficient to code for salty taste

64
Q

How was enac tested in Reese‘s monkeys

A

They are only responsible for a fraction of the sodium protection. Amilo ride treatment doesn’t affect their licking, so there must be another channel

65
Q

Where are ENAC ion channels express

A

They are expressed and taser so sales I do not express receptors for other tastes and this occurs through release of neuroactive peptides

66
Q

What is the concentration of salt and saliva

20 nm

67
Q

What is the range of salt from least attractive to aversive for our detection

The mice have a selective abolishment of the attractive taste of sodium chloride but it does not affect any other taste responses

69
Q

What channels are crucial for salt detection and how

A

Sodium enters to open voltage gated calcium channels

70
Q

What taste processing model is mowt support

A

Label line

71
Q

What is the label line model

A

The label line model is that everything is separate for the taste reception cells and it combines later

72
Q

How is the label line model supported

A

Functional studies and Mayas have demonstrated that different taste receptor cells define the different taste modalities, and the activation of a single type of taste receptor cell is sufficient to encode taste quality 

73
Q

What is the Cross fiber model of taste processing

A

The crossfire model says that the proud tune neurons either insert arrange a receptors or single cells in contacts to more than one receptor

74
Q

What happens if T2 R5 gene is knocked out

A

There is a selective elimination in the response to cycloheximide which is a bitter compound

75
Q

What happens if the taste receptor cells that express PDk2L1 knockout

A

There is no response to hydronium

76
Q

What happens if you knockout plc beta or TRPM5

A

There is no sweet unami or bitter

77
Q

What do the knock out tell us about genes and behavior

A

Genes code for proteins not behavior

78
Q

A

T2 R 49

A

PKD2L1 expression

82
Q

How can we make mice respond to cromolyn sweet

A

Add t2r49 to T1r2 and T1 are three and they were perceive crumbling a sweet

83
Q

What high concentration of ions does olfactory sensory neurons need

A

Chlorine

84
Q

And why do olfactory sensory neurons need high intracellular chlorine concentration

A

The outward driving force allows for an inward current to cause a depolarization of the neuron

85
Q

How much deplorization does the chlorine account for

A

90

86
Q

What code transporter insurers hi chlorine concentration and how

A

NKCC one insures high intrusellular chlorine concentration and the movement of sodium and potassium down there gradient allows for this

87
Q

A

KCC to

88

A

Obps

89
Q

99
Q

How many odorant receptor proteins does each olfactory sensory neuron have

A

1

100
Q

How does one receptor come to be expressed and a mouse

A

The LCR limits transcriptions to 40 and then more limitation comes from the commitment of olfactory sensory neuron to one

Q

What type of antagonist are some odorants

A

102
Q

How is a given odorant recognized by a unique set of olfactory receptors

A

Different olfactory receptors recognize different sets of odorants and different odorants activate different sets of olfactory receptors
