What are the 3 types of senses?

Chemical, Vision and Ear (remember using VEC, almost like Rec in recording)

New cards
New cards

what are the 2 types of chemical senses?

Taste and Smell. (They are categorized under chemical senses cuz they need chemo-receptors)

New cards
New cards

What SPECIFIC type of chemoreceptor does the sense taste use?

Gustatory Receptors (Remember using GT almost like GTA where G is for gustatory and T for taste)

____ dissolve in saliva and bind with receptors and depolarize

Tastants

New cards

Salty triggered by ___ ions

Na+ (salty banana analogy)

New cards
New cards

Sour triggered by ___ ions

H+ in acids (think of lemon, it is sour and it has acids)

New cards
New cards

Sweet triggered by ____ ions

glucose (sweet makes you fat and fat is nothing but glucose)

New cards

Bitter triggered by ____ tastants

bitter (straightforward)

Umami (savory) triggered by ____

glutmate

The three types of taste buds

Fungiform papillae, Circumvallate papillae and Foliate papillae (just remember it's fungi, circle and foil)

what are Fungiform papillae?

small, on entire surface of tongue (remember using: fugi = mushroom and they are small and everywhere)

what are Circumvallate papillae?

Inverted ā€œvā€ near back of tongue (Remember using: It has V in it indicating it is V shape)

<p>Inverted ā€œvā€ near back of tongue (Remember using: It has V in it indicating it is V shape)</p>
New cards
New cards

what are Foliate papillae?

Located in the the corners of tongue (think of foil wrap, they are around the food, so foliate is in the corners)

What are the 5 types of taste?

  • Sweet

  • Salty

  • Sour

  • Bitter (Remember using BUSSS, (yes it has 3 s))

last step (fifth) in transmitting taste

The information is sent via the facial and glossopharyngeal nerves to the brainstem, thalamus, and gustatory cortex in the cerebral cortex at the frontal and temporal lobes.

What SPECIFIC type of chemoreceptor does the sense SMELL use?

Olfactory Receptors (Remember using OS like operating system or ios)

New cards

____depolarizes neuron

Odorant binding to G protein (smell = odor so it's odorant)

8 types of olfactory receptors

  • Fruity (all non-citrus)

  • Citrus (lemon, orange)

  • Fragrant (flowers, perfumes)

  • Woody & Resinous (pine, grass)

  • Chemical (ammonia, bleach)

  • Sweet

  • Minty (peppermint)

  • Pungent (blue cheese, decay)

Remember using: W (like w for wow thing) SPM (kinda like spam messages) CF and CF (kinda like spamming CF CF) so acronym is W-SPM-CF-CF.
