The Special Senses Part A 15

Chemical senses – gustation (taste) and olfaction (smell) Their chemoreceptors respond to chemicals in aqueous solution Taste – to substances dissolved in saliva Smell – to substances dissolved in fluids of the nasal membranes

Most of the 10,000 or so taste buds are found on the tongue Taste buds are found in papillae of the tongue mucosa Papillae come in three types: filiform, fungiform, and circumvallate Fungiform and circumvallate papillae contain taste buds

Taste Buds Figure 15.1

Each gourd-shaped taste bud consists of three major cell types Anatomy of a Taste Bud Each gourd-shaped taste bud consists of three major cell types Supporting cells – insulate the receptor Basal cells – dynamic stem cells Gustatory cells – taste cells

There are five basic taste sensations Sweet – sugars, saccharin, alcohol, and some amino acids Salt – metal ions Sour – hydrogen ions Bitter – alkaloids such as quinine and nicotine Umami – elicited by the amino acid glutamate

In order to be tasted, a chemical: Physiology of Taste In order to be tasted, a chemical: Must be dissolved in saliva Must contact gustatory hairs Binding of the food chemical: Depolarizes the taste cell membrane, releasing neurotransmitter Initiates a generator potential that elicits an action potential

The stimulus energy of taste is converted into a nerve impulse by: Taste Transduction The stimulus energy of taste is converted into a nerve impulse by: Na+ influx in salty tastes H+ in sour tastes (by directly entering the cell, by opening cation channels, or by blockade of K+ channels) Gustducin in sweet and bitter tastes

Gustatory Pathway Cranial Nerves VII and IX carry impulses from taste buds to the solitary nucleus of the medulla These impulses then travel to the thalamus, and from there fibers branch to the: Gustatory cortex (taste) Hypothalamus and limbic system (appreciation of taste)

Gustatory Pathway Figure 15.2

Influence of Other Sensations on Taste Taste is 80% smell Thermoreceptors, mechanoreceptors, nociceptors also influence tastes Temperature and texture enhance or detract from taste

Olfactory receptors are surrounded and cushioned by supporting cells Sense of Smell The organ of smell is the olfactory epithelium, which covers the superior nasal concha Olfactory receptor cells are bipolar neurons with radiating olfactory cilia Olfactory receptors are surrounded and cushioned by supporting cells Basal cells lie at the base of the epithelium

Sense of Smell Figure 15.3

Physiology of Smell Olfactory receptors respond to several different odor-causing chemicals When bound to ligand these proteins initiate a G protein mechanism, which uses cAMP as a second messenger cAMP opens Na+ and Ca2+ channels, causing depolarization of the receptor membrane that then triggers an action potential

Olfactory receptor cells synapse with mitral cells Olfactory Pathway Olfactory receptor cells synapse with mitral cells Glomerular mitral cells process odor signals Mitral cells send impulses to: The olfactory cortex The hypothalamus, amygdala, and limbic system

Olfactory Transduction Process Odorant binding protein Odorant chemical Na+ Inactive Active Na+ influx causes depolarization ATP Adenylate cyclase cAMP Depolarization of olfactory receptor cell membrane triggers action potentials in axon of receptor Cytoplasm Figure 15.4

Eye and Associated Structures 70% of all sensory receptors are in the eye Most of the eye is protected by a cushion of fat and the bony orbit Accessory structures include eyebrows, eyelids, conjunctiva, lacrimal apparatus, and extrinsic eye muscles

Coarse hairs that overlie the supraorbital margins Functions include: Eyebrows Coarse hairs that overlie the supraorbital margins Functions include: Shading the eye Preventing perspiration from reaching the eye Orbicularis muscle – depresses the eyebrows Corrugator muscles – move the eyebrows medially

Protect the eye anteriorly Palpebral fissure – separates eyelids Palpebrae (Eyelids) Protect the eye anteriorly Palpebral fissure – separates eyelids Canthi – medial and lateral angles (commissures)

Tarsal plates of connective tissue support the eyelids internally Palpebrae (Eyelids) Lacrimal caruncle – contains glands that secrete a whitish, oily secretion (Sandman’s eye sand) Tarsal plates of connective tissue support the eyelids internally Levator palpebrae superioris – gives the upper eyelid mobility

Lubricating glands associated with the eyelids Palpebrae (Eyelids) Eyelashes Project from the free margin of each eyelid Initiate reflex blinking Lubricating glands associated with the eyelids Meibomian glands and sebaceous glands Ciliary glands lie between the hair follicles

Palpebrae (Eyelids) Figure 15.5b

Transparent membrane that: Conjunctiva Transparent membrane that: Lines the eyelids as the palpebral conjunctiva Covers the whites of the eyes as the ocular conjunctiva Lubricates and protects the eye

Consists of the lacrimal gland and associated ducts Lacrimal Apparatus Consists of the lacrimal gland and associated ducts Lacrimal glands secrete tears Tears Contain mucus, antibodies, and lysozyme Enter the eye via superolateral excretory ducts Exit the eye medially via the lacrimal punctum Drain into the nasolacrimal duct

Lacrimal Apparatus Figure 15.6

Six straplike extrinsic eye muscles Enable the eye to follow moving objects Maintain the shape of the eyeball Four rectus muscles originate from the annular ring Two oblique muscles move the eye in the vertical plane

Extrinsic Eye Muscles Figure 15.7a, b

Summary of Cranial Nerves and Muscle Actions Names, actions, and cranial nerve innervation of the extrinsic eye muscles Figure 15.7c

Structure of the Eyeball A slightly irregular hollow sphere with anterior and posterior poles The wall is composed of three tunics – fibrous, vascular, and sensory The internal cavity is filled with fluids called humors The lens separates the internal cavity into anterior and posterior segments

Structure of the Eyeball Figure 15.8a

Forms the outermost coat of the eye and is composed of: Fibrous Tunic Forms the outermost coat of the eye and is composed of: Opaque sclera (posteriorly) Clear cornea (anteriorly) The sclera protects the eye and anchors extrinsic muscles The cornea lets light enter the eye

Vascular Tunic (Uvea): Choroid Region Has three regions: choroid, ciliary body, and iris Choroid region A dark brown membrane that forms the posterior portion of the uvea Supplies blood to all eye tunics

Vascular Tunic: Ciliary Body A thickened ring of tissue surrounding the lens Composed of smooth muscle bundles (ciliary muscles) Anchors the suspensory ligament that holds the lens in place

The colored part of the eye Pupil – central opening of the iris Vascular Tunic: Iris The colored part of the eye Pupil – central opening of the iris Regulates the amount of light entering the eye during: Close vision and bright light – pupils constrict Distant vision and dim light – pupils dilate Changes in emotional state – pupils dilate when the subject matter is appealing or requires problem-solving skills

Pupil Dilation and Constriction Figure 15.9

A delicate two-layered membrane Sensory Tunic: Retina A delicate two-layered membrane Pigmented layer – the outer layer that absorbs light and prevents its scattering Neural layer, which contains: Photoreceptors that transduce light energy Bipolar cells and ganglion cells Amacrine and horizontal cells

Sensory Tunic: Retina Figure 15.10a

The Retina: Ganglion Cells and the Optic Disc Ganglion cell axons: Run along the inner surface of the retina Leave the eye as the optic nerve The optic disc: Is the site where the optic nerve leaves the eye Lacks photoreceptors (the blind spot)

The Retina: Ganglion Cells and the Optic Disc Figure 15.10b

The Retina: Photoreceptors Rods: Respond to dim light Are used for peripheral vision Cones: Respond to bright light Have high-acuity color vision Are found in the macula lutea Are concentrated in the fovea centralis

Blood Supply to the Retina The neural retina receives its blood supply from two sources The outer third receives its blood from the choroid The inner two-thirds is served by the central artery and vein Small vessels radiate out from the optic disc and can be seen with an ophthalmoscope
