Cards

Term
chemoreceptors
Definition
what is located primarily on the tongue, but also scattered over the palate, pharynx, and epiglottis?
Term
papillae (except filliform)
Definition
taste buds are located on the
______ of the tongue
Term
3,000-10,000, many degenerate past age 45
Definition
how many taste buds do adults have? past what age do many degenerate?
Term
taste buds
Definition
consist of 20-30 spindle-shaped central taste cells containing terminal taste hairs
Term
10 days, they are continually lost and replaced
Definition
what is the lifespan of taste buds in most mammals?
Term
a central taste pore
Definition
what do the taste hairs project into?
Term
a glycoprotein coat covers the hairs whcih are surrounded by sustentacular cells
Definition
what covers and surrounds taste hairs?
Term
myelinated nerve endings
Definition
what kind of nerve endings are taste cells associated with?
Term
7, 9, 10
Definition
list the cranial nerves that innervate taste buds
Term
filiform papillae
Definition
most numerous lingual papillae
Term
filiform papillae
Definition
which lingual papillae are keratinized?
Term
they are distributed in parallel rows
Definition
how are filiform papillae arranged on the tongue?
Term
fungiform
Definition
mushroom shaped papillae that are scattered among the filiform papillae
Term
the DORSAL surface
Definition
where are taste buds located on fungiform papillae?
Term
in transverse furrows/ridges on the caudal lateral portion of the tongue
Definition
where are foliate papillae found on the tongue?
Term
foliate papillae
Definition
what papillae contain taste buds in chidren that degenerate with age, and are responsible for your change in taste with age?
Term
8-12 LARGE, dome-shaped papillae anterior to the sulcus terminalis
Definition
where are circumvallate papillae found? how many? what shape?
Term
1)circumvallate papillae
2) fungiform papillae
3) foliate papiilae
4) filiform papillae
Definition
list the types of papillae from most taste-buds to least
Term
circumvallate papillae
Definition
what papillae are associated with von Ebner's glands?
Term
found at the lateral base of circumvallate papillae, they are salivary glands
Definition
where are von Ebner's gland found, and what are they?
Term
scattered throughout the tongue musculature (in the lamina propria, between muscule layers)
Definition
where can accessory salivary glands be found?
Term
saliva (this is why it is hard to taste things with a dry mouth)
Definition
acts as a carrier medium for sense of taste by increasing the surface area between hairs and food
Term
salty, sweet, bitter, sour, umami
Definition
what are the 4(5) tastes?
Term
anterio-lateral margin: salty
anterio-medial(tip): sweet
posterio-lateral margin: sour
caudal: bitter (circumvallate papillae)
Definition
describe the location of taste buds for specific tastes on the tongue according to Morrow
Term
umami (and bitter)
Definition
this taste is associated with increased circumvallate papilae
Term
umami
Definition
this detects certain amino acids, like glutamate, characteristic of foods like apsaragus, tomatoes, beef, cheese, MSG
Term
yes, some people taste pheylthiocarbamide (PTC) some don't

[I do, it tastes like crap, you aren't missing out]
Definition
is there a genetic basis for taste? give an example
Term
decreased ability to detect taste (in general or a specific thing)
Definition
what is hypoguesia?
Term
fungiform papillae (not sure what he is talking about here)?
Definition
there is a heriditary condition that leads to total absence of taste buds and ____
Term
in respiratory epithelium
Definition
where are olfactory receptors found?
Term
olfactory epithelium
Definition
name respiratory epithelium of the nasal cavity
Term
tall, pseudostratified, columnar epithelium
Definition
describe the cells of olfactory epithelium
Term
1) olfactory receptor cells
2) supporting/sustentacular cells
3) basal epithelial cells
Definition
name the 3 cell types of olfactory epithelium
Term
olfactory receptor cells
Definition
bipolar neurons with a dilated apex containing non-motile sensory cilia
Term
olfactory knob
Definition
dilated apex of olfactory receptor cells
Term
olfactory hairs
Definition
non-motile sensory cilia that project into the mucus layer on the surface of olfactory membrane
Term
9+2 arrangement
Definition
how are microtubules arranged in cilia?
Term
on the cilia (olfactory hairs)
Definition
where are the receptors that odorant molecules bind?
Term
ethmoid
Definition
axons from the olfactory receptor cells travel in bundles through the cribiform plate of the ____ bone to the olfactory bulb of the brain
Term
1-2 months
Definition
what is the lifespan of an individual olfactory neuron?
Term
olfactory neurons, continuous neurogenesis
Definition
what are the only neurons in adults that are continuously replaced? what is the term for this?
Term
supporting cells
Definition
these cells have surface microvilli that intermingle with cilia from the receptor cells
Term
supporting cells
Definition
these cells provide structural, mechanical, and physiological support for olfactory receptor cells
Term
basal cell
Definition
possibly a progenitor stem cell in nasal mucosa
Term
found in the lamina propria or submucosa, they lubricate olfactory epithelium
Definition
where are Bowman's glands found, what do they do?
Term
Odor blindness
Definition
inability to smell a particular scent, like formaldehyde(Morrow)
Term
anosmia
Definition
inability to detect odors
Term
it can be permanent, or transient (remember banana lady?)

it can be specific to certain scents, or general
Definition
is anosmia permanant?
Term
1) filiform paillae 2) fungiform papillae (foliate papillae, in kids at least)? 3) circumvallate (only 8-10)
Definition
list the lingual papillae in order of most to least present on the tongue
