dec1pt1 Flashcards
TRC localized in these three areas
fungiform, foliate, and circumvallate papillae
taste buds are located inside
papilla
contain many taste buds
circumvallate papilla
contains very few taste buds
fungiform
more taste buds means the papilla is ___ sensitive
more
strucutre of taste bud
taste bed with 50-100 taste recepor cells, basal cells that become TRCs, and supporting cells
nature of taste cells
polarized epithelical with voltage gated Ca channels
NT of taste cells
seratonin
Map for taste located in
cortex
two theories of taste
labeled line and crossfiber
labeled line theory
TRC of one kind per sensory neuron
acrossfiber model
One sensory neuron stim by diffnt cell types
difference in two acrossfiber models
TRCs have diffnt proportion taste receptor molecules or have just one but still different types stim one neuron
taste cells make synaptic connections with
gustatory nerve
trademark of acrossfiber model
each gustatory nerve can respond to different taste modalities
