Taste smell Flashcards
Taste receptor cells are also located on the palate and epiglottis.
located in the epithelium not in pappilase
Taste receptor are clustered in taste buds,
which are mainly assoicated with fungiform and circumvallate/vallate papillae
tf Foliate papillae have tons of taste buds in adults.
Foliate papillae have few taste buds in adults.
epiglottis
SA from CN 10
posterior 1/3 tongue (including vallate papillae)
SA from CN-IX:
anterior 2/3 tongue, palate
SA from CN-VII:
anterior 2/3 tongue, hard and soft palate
GSA from CN 5
epiglottis
GVA from CN 10
tf GVA from CN-IX: ant 1/3 tongue, palatine tonsils,larynx
GVA from CN-IX: posterior 1/3 tongue, palatine tonsils, pharynx
Taste receptor cells are replaced
every 7-10 days
the taste receptor cells release neurotransmitter on afferents
of CN VII, CN IX and CN X
at apical end of taste receptor cell and
extend thru taste pore
microvilli
Taste molecule activates the taste receptor cell.
Increase intracellular Ca+2 through voltage gated Ca+2 channels and via release from internal stores.
Depolarizing receptor potential (inside of the taste receptor cell become more positive through several different mechanisms)
Transduction of the signal to the CNS (nucleus solitarius/solitaty nucleus)
Release of transmitter on to peripheral nerve (primary afferent)
