Lecture 8- CN VII - XII Flashcards
what detects internal chemical stimuli
internal organ chemoreceptors
what is the function of internal organ chemoreceptors
tracking concentrations of oxygen, glucose, neuroactive hormones and other substances
what detects external chemical stimuli
gustatory/taste receptors
olfactory receptor neurons
chemosensitive endings
where is gustatory/taste receptors
oral cavity
where is olfactory neurons
nasal cavity
what does chemosensitive endings detect
heat of chili/coolness of methanol
sting of ammonia (nose/eye)
CN V through somatosensory
what is papillae
gustatory organs of the tongue
where is circumvallate papillae
posterior 1/3 tongue
oropharynx
what innervates circumvallate papillae and the function
CN IX for chemical and common Ss stimuli
where is foliate papillae
middle to posterior lateral tongue
what innervates foliate papillae and the function
CN V/VII/IX for chemical stimuli
CN V/IX for Ss
where is fungiform papillae
anterior 2/3 tongue
oral cavity
what innervates fungiform papillae and the function
CN V/VII for chemical stimuli
CN V for Ss
how long does taste receptors last
1-2 weeks
basal cells differentiate into new taste receptors
what does taste receptors synapse with
with dendrites of CN VII/ IX/X through gap junctions
where is taste first order neuron
ganglia of CN VII/IX/X
where is taste second order neuron
solitary nuclei
what CN is gengiculate ganglia that makes up the first order neuron of taste
CN VII
what CN is inferior ganglia that makes up the first order neuron of taste
CN IX and X
what is tastants
chemical molecules transduce taste receptor cells
what ion channel makes up salty taste
leaking ion channel for sodium/potassium ions
what ion channel makes up sour taste
ionotropic channel with H+ depolarize
what ion channel makes up sweet/umami/bitter taste
GPCR
what is the 6th taste
ammonium chloride
like salty or sour ion channel
avoid toxic food
