Taste And Smell Flashcards
Where are primary olfactory sensory neurons located?
Primary olfactory sensory neurons live in the olfactory epithelium in the roof of the nasal cavity beneath the cribiform plate of the ethmoid bone. Their axons penetrate the plate and project to the olfactory bulb.
What is the process of olfactory signal transduction?
Where do olfactory sensory neurons project?
Olfactory sensory neurons project to mitral and tufted cells in the glomeruli of the olfactory bulbs. These project down the olfactory tract to the brain. Periglomerular cells and granule cells are GABAergic and provide lateral inhibition just like amacrine and horizontal cells.
Where do mitral and tufted cells project to?
What are the types of taste papillae?
What are the 4 cell types of taste buds?
What are the taste receptors?
What is gustatory innervation derived from?
Where does the gustatory cortex project to?
