specialized mucosa and taste Flashcards
body mucosa of the tongue
BA1
root mucsoa of the tongue
BA3
keratinization of tongue mucosa
Eptilium mostly keratinzied except for key locations
lamina propria of tongue
flexible
submucosa of tongue
No submucosa
surface of tongue
Numerous papillae with a rough surface
what are the papillae of the tongue
some Taste buds
otheres inneratved by somatosensory nerve ending
is sensation confined to the tongue
No
separates the root from the body of the tongue
TErmainal sulcus
fibers for touch for oral mucosa
Ab and A delta fibers
fibers for warm of oral mucosa
C fibers
fibers for cooling of oral mucosa
A delta
fibers for pain of oral mucosa
A delta and C fibers
Cranial nerve for sensation of anterior mouth
CN V
Cranial nerve for senstion of posterior tongue and pharynx
CN IX
taste bud cranial nerves
CN VII, IX, X
what makes up Flavor
Taste
Olfactory
Oral Somatosensory (temp, texture, spice)
what parts of flavor are well fused
taste and olfactory components
how is the olfactory epithlium stimulated
volatile molecules from food stimulated the olfactory epithium via orthonasal and retronasal
what part of olfaction is very important for food flavor
Retronasal (through the back of the mouth/pharynx)
do taste and olfactory senses use the same never
No use separate cranial nerves
where do Taste and Olfaction interact
extesnively in the CNS especailly the primary qustatory corte (insula)
Hypergeusia
Heightened sensastion of taste (V. rare)
Hypogeusia
Reduced sensastion of taste
Ageusia
No sensation of taste (V. rare)
parageusia
Incorrect taste sensation
Dysgeusia
change in taste quality
phantogeusia
taste in the absence of stimulus
How often do people self report problems with taste or flavor
about 18% most think they have taste flavor loss at age 25
what part of sensing flavor is common
Olfactory deficits are more common than Hypo or Ageusia (less common)
alfactory alone most
then olfactory and taste
taste alone
what are the greatest causes of taste loss
Idiopathic (unknown) Post-traumatic (after injury) Post-operative (after surgery) post-infection medical disease/cause Chemical but most are unknown cause of taste loss
function of the taste system
Detect chemicals in food
why is taste important
distinuish nutrients and non-nutritive substance
distinguish different nutrients
detects harmful substances - poison, caustic chem
classse of taste receptors detect
detect different classes of stimuli
different quality that we can taste
sugars (sweet) amino acid (umami) salts (salty) acids (sour) varied, alkaloids, purine base, glycosides (bitter)
what does the sensation of spiciness come from
NOT taste but pain (TRP receptors)
recetpor for chilis
TRPV1
Receptors for garlic
TRPA1
what makes up a taste bud
a goblet shapped cluster of 40-60 cells
Orientation of taste bud
TAste pore opens up into a lummer with nerve fibers comming out the other size
where does the taste bud extend from
BAsal lamina to the surface
where is the location of taste recetpors
Microvilli of the cells
the opeing to the lumen to the thetaste bud
Taste pore
where are the afferents of the taste bud
Primary afferent fibers at base where bud cells make synapses with these fibers
number of taste buds
8000
where are taste buds located
68% on tongue
27% on pharynx and larynx
5% on soft palate
what lingual papillae are taste buds associated with
foliate papillae (side of tonue)
Circumvallate ( big ones on the connection between root and body of tongue)
Fungiform papilla
where are fungiform papillae
on the dorasl anterior of tongue (BA1)
what innervates the fungiform papilae
by chorda tympani brnach of VII (BA2)
taste bud bumber of fungiform papilllae
1600
where are most fungiform papillae found
at the tip, strategically located to monitor food entering mouth
shape of fungiform apillae
mushroom-shpaed
where are fungiform papillae found
located amoung more numerous filiform papillae
taste buds on filiform papillae
No
where is keratin layer interrupted on fungiform papillae
Interrupted at the pore
how is keratin between papilla
reduced
where are taste buds located on the fungiform papillae
located on the dorsal surface of fungis
do single sections of fungiform papillae have multiple taste buds
NO, may have none of 1
most have fungis have how many taste buds
ave of 3
