Lab 8 - Olfaction Flashcards
olfactory nerves go through the blank
cribriform plate
detection and recognition of volatile chemicals that come in contact with membranes in the nose
olfaction
memories and emotion from smell is because it goes to this part of the brain
amygdala
taste is combined with olfaction to get blank
flavor
four cells that transmit touch
meissners, merkel, pacini, ruffini
surface of skin sensory cells for touch
meissners, merkel
deep skin sensory cell for vibration
pacini
deep skin sensory cell for sustained pressure
ruffini
merkel and meissners have blank receptive fields so they are good for
small, accuracy/sensitivity
pacini and ruffini have blank receptive fields
large
these cells do not undergo adaptation
ruffini
these receptors adapt quickly to pressure
meissners, pacini
merkel cells adapt blank to pressure
slowly
the blank structure of the corpuscle gives rise to adaptation
physical
four fibers for sensory information (afferent)
a alpha, a beta, a delta, c
