Taste Smell Vision Hearing Balance
3
respond to chemicals in an aqueous solution food dissolved in saliva airborne chemicals dissolved in mucous membrane Taste and smell are involved with specific receptor cells called chemoreceptors
4
The Tongue
5
Taste Buds Circumvallate Papilla Filiform papilla Fungiform papilla Connective tissue Tongue epithelium
8
Salty- metallic ions Sweet- sugar Sour- H + Bitter- alkaloid Why are they important? Umami- savory/meaty
9
Dry tongue with a paper towel and place a little sugar on surface. What do you taste?
10
Facial nerve (afferent) 2/3 anterior portion of tongue Glossophyngeal posterior 1/3 of tongue Vagus nerve- few taste buds on epiglottis an pharynx These afferent fibers synapse in medulla thalamus gustatory cortex in parietal lobes and fibers to hypothalamus in limbic system
11
Taste triggers reflex involved in digestion; causes an increase of saliva in mouth (amylase) and gastric juice in stomach acids cause strong salivary reflex bad tasting food causes gagging or reflexive vomiting taste can change over time taste is 80% smell Mouth also contains: Thermoreceptors Mechanoreceptors Nociceptors- sensitive nerve fibers that are aware of painful stimuli
12
Smell not as good as animals; however, some people are wine tasters, perfumers If you smell a particular odor all day, you won’t recognize its presence, you become accustomed, ex. garbage men Old people lose sense of smell- lots of perfume Humans can distinguish 10,000 or so chemicals What we really smell is pain: ex. chili, ammonia, menthol (cold) Specific chemicals cause specific patterns of neurons to fire

Cortical Regions Associated with Olfactory Information
16
Olfactory auras- prior to epileptic attack May be genetic or a cold (mucus), allergy, zinc deficiency loss of sense of smell Lose sense of smell lose taste Uncinate- olfactory hallucinations; may be psychological ex. rotting meat smell

21
Fibrous tunic- sclera and cornea (outer most layer) Composed of dense avascular connective tissue
22
Vascular tunic- uvea: choroid, cilliary body, iris, pupil (middle layer) Choroid- rich vascular nutritive layer; contains a dark pigment that prevents light scattering within the eye Cilliary body- lens is attached; contains muscles that change the lenses shape Iris- pigmented ring of muscular tissue composed of circular and radial muscles reflex contraction of circular muscle in bright light (small dia of pupil) reflex contraction of radial muscle in dim light (large dia of pupil) Pupil- central hole in iris
23
Sensory tunic- retina (inner most layer) Photoreceptors: rods (dim light, contains pigment rhodopsin) and Cones (color vision, not evenly distributed, concentrated in fovea) Optic disc- blind spot because its where optic nerve leaves the eyeball (no rods or cones) Macula lutea- yellow spot, area of high cone Fovea centralis- in center of macula lutea, contains only cones, area of greatest visual acuity
25
Vitreous humor- behind lens, gel-like substance with fine collagenic fibrils imbedded in as viscous ground substance- binds with water transmits light supports the posterior surface of the lens and holds the neural retina firmly against pigmented layer contributes to intraoccular pressure, helping to counter act the pulling force of the extrinsic eye muscles
26
Aqueous humor- in front of lens, anterior segment, watery fluid Supplies cornea and lens with nutrients Helps to maintain the shape of the eye Produced and renewed every 4 hrs by the cilliary body
28
Lens- transparent biconvex structure, flexible Attached by suspensory ligaments to ciliary body focuses image onto retina changes lens thickness to allow light to be properly focused onto retina

55
Outer ear- pinna (auricle), lobule, external auditory canal; elastic cartilage External auditory canal has: ceruminous glands- wax secreting glands- protects delicate lining of meatus and helps prevent microorganisms from entering the ear Tympanic membrane- membrane that vibrates in response to sound waves
57
Middle ear- Includes 3 small bones (ossicles)- hammer (mallus), anvil (incus), stirup (stapes) Pharyngeotympanic auditory tube (Eustachian tube)- equalizes pressure; connects middle ear to pharynx. Oval window- found on cochlea; stirrup presses against cochlea Round window- pressure window on cochlea Otis media- inflammation of the middle ear; due to bacteria or allergies, common in children whose auditory tubes are short and horizontal
58
external auditory canal tympanic membrane Auditory tube malleus incus stapes round window oval window
60
Inner ear- bony labyrinth filled with perilymph fluid (similar to CFS) and membranous labyrinth filled with endolymph fluid (similar to K+ rich intracellular fluid); these fluids conduct sound vibrations Bony labyrinth (includes vestibule, semicircular canal, and cochlea) Vestibule- posterior to cochlea and anterior to the semicircular canals Perilymph fluid suspends 2 membranous sacs: utricle and sacule-- they house equilibrium receptors called maculae that respond to the pull of gravity
61
Semicircular canal- contains endolymph fluid; anterior, posterior, and lateral canal; contains equilibrium receptors (ampulla) Cochlea- filled with perilymph fluid Organ of Corti- rests a top basilar membrane; has long row of hair cells
63
Biology 100 Human Biology cochlea saccule utricle semicircular canals vestibulochoclear nerve
67
Properties of sound: Sound travels at 331 m/sec It's a pressure disturbance originating from the vibration Frequency- cycles/sec (hertz); Reflects sound intensity Human hearing- 20 to 20,000 htz Pitch- different frequency's; high vs low; pure tone is a single frequency Quality- sound mixture with several frequencies Intensity- corresponds to amplitude of height; loudness measured in decibels
68

74
Fibers of basilar membrane (b) Different sound frequencies cross the basilar membrane at different locations. Medium-frequency sounds displace the basilar membrane near the middle. Low-frequency sounds displace the basilar membrane near the apex. Base (short, stiff fibers) Frequency (Hz) Apex (long, floppy fibers) Basilar membrane High-frequency sounds displace the basilar membrane near the base.

78

80
The effect of gravitational pull on the macula receptor cell in the utricle
82
Hearing loss- due to disease (ex. meningitus), damage, or age related Conduction deafness- prevention or blocking sounds from entering inner ear. Ex. ear wax, ruptured ear drum, middle ear inflammation (otis media), and otosclerosis (hardening of the ossicles of the ear) Sensoneural deafness- damage to the neural structures from any point from the cochlear hair cells to and including the auditory cortical cells Partial or complete deafness, or gradual loss over time
83
Tinnitus- ringing or clicking sound in the absence of auditory stimuli; 1 st symptom of cochlear nerve degeneration may result from inflammation of the inner or middle ear side effect from medicine such as aspirin Symptoms- vertigo, nausea, hearing loss Meniere's Syndrome- labyrinth disorder; effects both semicircular canals and cochlea
