and
2. Detection of taste begins when:
Taste receptors are classified by the substance to which they detect, with only
one type of receptor associated with an individual gustatory cell.
3. Activation of Taste Receptors. A substance must first dissolve in
before it can reach a taste bud where it may be detected as a
gustatory stimulus. Changes in ion movements depolarize the gustatory cell's
plasma membrane causing the opening of voltage-gated
ions channels. The entry of
ions into the cell triggers the
release of neurotransmitters, which produce an action potential in the axon of
the sensory neuron .
4. The Gustatory Pathway. Taste stimuli travel to various regions of the brain
for processing and integration. The following pathways accomplish these
connections : Axons of the
and
nerves carry taste stimuli from the tongue
into the CNS. Axons of these three nerves terminate in the solitary nucleus in
the medulla by synapsing on central sensory neurons. Axons from the solitary
nucleus synapse on neurons in the thalamus, which then send them to the
primary gustatory cortex in the
lobe. From the primary
gustatory cortex, taste signals travel to either the inferior region of the frontal
lobe for integration with visual and olfactory information or to the
system, which provides emotional reactions to taste.
Anatomy of the Eye
A. The eyeballs are located in the anterior one-third of the orbit on either side of the
nasal cavity.
