Taste and Smell

Question 1

Olfactory Organ:

Answer 1

Composed of olfactory epithelium, lamina propria and cribriform plate

Question 2

Olfactory Receptor Cells:

Answer 2

Bipolar neurons, in which each detect only one odorant type. Modified afferent neurons with slender dendrite and knobs with cilia, in which odorants bind to.

Question 3

Olfactory Bulb:

Answer 3

Axons of olfactory receptor cells travel through holes in the cribriform and Synapse with mitral cells in glomeruli, within the olfactory bulb

Question 4

Olfactory Nerve:

Answer 4

Axons of olfactory receptor cells

Question 5

Olfactory Tract:

Answer 5

Axons of mitral cells

Question 6

Glomeruli:

Answer 6

Olfactory receptor cells detecting the same odorant synapse at the same glomerulus. Each is specific to one scent

Question 7

Lingual Papillae:

Answer 7

Epithelial projections of the tongue

Question 8

Taste Buds:

Answer 8

Consist of basal cells, transitional cells and gustatory receptors cells, and is found within papillae

Question 9

Gustatory Receptor Cells:

Answer 9

Modified epithelial cells with microvilli (taste hairs, and taste pores; found in taste buds.
