taste + gustation along with smell

Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.

Question
Answer
OBP   Oderant binding protein which is secreted by basal cells in the olfactory epithelium along with mucus  
🗑
Where is the oderant receptor   they are expressed by cilia in the olfactory epithelium  
🗑
Oderant receptors bind   many drugs---typically will bind a certain type of chemical sequence etc. So a smell is a combination of firing caused by multiple types of OR  
🗑
olfactory neurons   are the only neural cells that are constantly replaced (eg they are exposed to odorants and toxins that may damage them)  
🗑
Anosmia   you get specific anosmias if you knock-out and a specific ORN(OBP), but general anosmiaif you impair the CNG channel and cAMP fluxes caused by the Gprotein linked receptors  
🗑
what are the five taste modalities   sweet, bitter, umami, sour, salty  
🗑
Sweet and Umani   T1R1, T1R2, T1R3 mM range affinity. These receptors produce "attraction to " nutrient  
🗑
Bitter receptors   T2 (30 receptor types)--- since avoiding poisons is important they must bind toxic stimuli with high affinity (micromolar). Activation of this pathway produces avoidance of food  
🗑
T1 vs T2   They have the same downstream transduction pathway, but you are able to tell whether a chemical is good or bad because T1 and T2 are strictly segregated in different cells  
🗑
Tasting hot/spicy etc...   touch receptors that are activated by cold/menthol, and heat capsaicin respectively.  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
