A

somatosensory fibers

21
Q

innervation and embryologic origination of foliate

A

CNIX

22
Q

CV taste buds are located in…

A

trench not dorsal surface

23
Q

CV innervated by

A

CNIX

24
Q

The functional redundancy of the taste system makes it resilient in the face of

A

partial taste loss

25
Q

taste stimuli are undetectable on the side of the tongue… to anesthesia

A

ipsilateral

26
Q

chorda tympani anesthesia (unilateral of bilateral) produces …. effects on whole mouth perception

A

minimal

27
Q

Are the trp receptors for spicy food on taste buds?

A

no, they are on trigeminal nerve fibers

28
Q

the number of taste papillae…. between individuals

A

varies greatly

29
Q

bitter receptors are called…. and it is about a 30 member family and it is…

A

tas2r

G-protein coupled

30
Q

each tasr detects a …. of bitter compounds

A

limited range

31
Q

differences in the… region determine the number of copies of the sweet receptor that are transcribed. this explains the 16% of the individual variation in how … sweet substances taste

A

promoter

intense

32
Q

Variation in sweet receptors affects…

A

most preferred sugar concentration

33
Q

Fewer sweet receptors= …

A

decreased sensitivity

34
Q

light cells of the taste bud have… that reach the taste pore and express receptors for taste substances

A

microvilli

35
Q

2 types of light cells

A

type 3 and type 2

36
Q

type 3 light cells respond to…. taste and do they synapse with primary afferent nerve?

A

sour

yes

37
Q

type 2 light cells respond to …. taste and do they synapse with primary afferent nerve?

A
  • bitter, sweet, aa’s

- no

38
Q

type 2 and 3 light cells can be distinguished due to

A

expression of specific proteins

39
Q

type 2 and 3 light cells use…. to communicate with the primary afferent taste nerves, type 3 uses classic synapses but type 2 do NOT

A

ATP

40
Q

ATP is released from type …. cells without the aid of a typical synapse using a special voltage-gated channel…

A
  • 2

- CALHM1 (calcium homeostasis modulator 1)

41
Q

new taste buds differentiate from…. cells and perhaps perigemmal cells just outside the taste bud and give rise to a post-mitotic taste bud “precursor” cell that expresses…

A
(mitotic) basal cells
Sonic hedgehog (Shh)
42
Q

Shh taste bud precursors are hypothesized to give rise to which cells in the taste bud?

A

all 3 types

43
Q

Shh is released from the precursor cells and act on surrounding cells to…

A

maintain taste buds
