Exam 13: The Chemical Senses:

The primary taste cortex is composed of the

Cell-to-cell signaling is used by receptor cells to communicate to the brain the presence of

The olfactory pathway does not include

The vomeronasal olfactory system

The relationship between age and olfactory identification ability,as measured by the University of Pennsylvania Smell Identification Test,indicates that

Research has shown that the orbitofrontal cortex (OFC)is involved in ,and that the pos- terior piriform cortex (PPC)is involved in .

Willander and Larsson (2006)studied autobiographical memories elicited by odors,words,or pictures for participants 65 to 80 years of age.They found that

The majority of taste buds are found

The piriform cortex produces representations of the features of odorant molecules,while the______________piriform cortex produces representations of the quality in an odorant.

______________ are the type of taste receptor cells where the transduction of salty and sour tastants is initiated.

People who can detect propylthiouracil (PROP)are called and have the version of the T2R38 receptor.

______________ has a lower detection threshold than .

______________ are chemicals emitted by organisms that evoke behavioral and hormonal responses in other individuals of the same species.

What are knockout mice? What has been learned about the role of different G-protein coupled receptors (GPCR)in taste perception by studying knockout mice?

The relationship between age and olfactory impairment indicates that

Your text describes the invention of the eNose.Do you think that an eMouth could be construct- ed that would be capable of experiencing flavors as people do? What problems would have to be addressed in creating eMouth?

The olfactory is(are)embedded in the olfactory .

Axons of mitral and tufted cells form the

A molecule consists of two or more

The wide variety of T2R receptors that have been identified (between 25-30 different types)in mice is believed to indicate that
