The Olfactory System Flashcards
What are the primary sensory neurons for the olfactory system
Olfactory sensory neurons
Olfactory sensory neurons have axons that come together to form the
Olfactory nerve Which is a bundle of axons going to the brain
The old factory nerve synapses with secondary sensory neurons in
The old factory bulb
Secondary sensory neurons project through the ________ To the olfactory cortex
Olfactory track Which is a bundle of axons in the brain
What produces the mucus that the cilia sit in
Bowmans gland
Basal cell
Stem cell, they’ll replace olfactory sensory neurons every two months
How does the older affect the primary sensory neurons also called the old factory receptor cells
Odorant molecules dissolve in the mucus
What cranial nerve does the old factory receptor cells axons make up
Cranial nerve one
What happens in the glomerulus
The bulbs have the synapse of axon terminal’s of primary sensory neurons and dendrites of the secondary sensory neurons
What do the granule and periglomerular cells do
Support and clarify information
What are mitral and tufted cells
Secondary sensory neurons, their axons for my tract that Will go to the olfactory cortex
True or false receptors that respond odor are G protein coupled receptors
True
Each olfactory receptor cell expresses only a single
Olfactory receptor gene
Each receptor can bind numerous
Odorant molecules
Explain sensory transduction
See binder
