Olfactory Epithelium

Question 3

Bowling-pin shaped receptor cells that cover the olfactory epithelium.

Answer 3

Olfactory Sensory Neurons

Question 4

Cushion and support the olfactory sensory neurons.

Answer 4

Supporting Cells

Question 5

Located at the base of the epithelium. Differentiate to replace olfactory sensory neurons.

Answer 5

Olfactory Stem Cells

Question 6

Increase the receptive surface area. Covered by a coat of thin mucus produced by the supporting cells and olfactory glands.

Answer 6

Olfactory Cilia

Question 7

Formed by collective of nonmyelinated axons of the olfactory sensory neurons. Project superiorly through the openings in the cribriform plate of the ethmoid bone.

Answer 7

Filaments of the olfactory nerve

Question 8

Synapse with the filaments of the olfactory nerve. The distal ends of the olfactory tracts.

Answer 8

Olfactory Bulbs

Question 9

Second-order sensory neurons in glomeruli.

Answer 9

Mitral Cells

Question 10

Converging location of axons from neurons bearing the same kind of receptor. Represents a singly aspect of an odor.

Answer 10

Glomeruli

Question 11

Tracts that connect the olfactory bulbs to the piriform lobe of the olfactory cortex.

Answer 11

Olfactory Tracts

Question 12

The sensory organs for taste.

Answer 12

Taste Buds

Question 13

Peg-like projections of the tongue mucosa that make the tongue surface slightly abrasive.

Answer 13

Papillae

Question 14

Mushroom-shaped papillae that cover the entire tongue surface. Only have one to five taste buds each.

Question 16

Located laterally on the tongue.

Answer 16

Foliate Papillae

Question 17

Receptor cells for taste.

Answer 17

Gustatory Epithelia Cells

Question 18

Project from the tips of all gustatory epithelial cells and extend through a taste pore to the surface of the epithelium. The sensitive portions of the gustatory epithelial cells.

Answer 18

Gustatory Hairs

Question 19

Pores where gustatory hairs project from.

Answer 19

Taste Pore

Question 20

Stem cells that divided and differentiate into new gustatory epithelia cells.

Answer 20

Basal Epithelia Cells

Glossopharyngeal Nerve (IX)

Question 23

Transmits taste impulses from the epiglottis and lower pharynx.

Answer 23

Vagus Nerve (X)

Question 24

Location where afferent taste fibers synapse in the medulla.

Answer 24

Solitary Nucleus
