20 Neural Pathways for Equilibrium
Vestibular afferents Vestibular nuclei (brainstem) Sensory systems Cortex Eye movements Cerebellum Perception Balance & Equilibrium Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings.

21 Taste Buds Over 10,000 taste buds Pore exposed to saliva in mouth
Tongue Roof of mouth Pharynx Pore exposed to saliva in mouth 50–150 taste receptors cells per bud Modified epithelial cells Respond to tastants Support cells Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings.

26 Olfactory Epithelium Figure 10.50
Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings.

27 Olfactory Receptor Cells
Only neurons replaced continuously Cilia project into mucus Have chemoreceptors Olfactory binding proteins Located in mucus Transport odorants to receptors Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings.

28 Olfactory Signal Transduction
Air-borne chemical must dissolve in mucus Olfactory binding proteins deliver olfactants to receptors Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings.

29 Olfactory Signal Transduction
Chemical binds to receptor Activates G protein called Golf Activates adenylate cyclase  cAMP cAMP directly binds cation channels, opening them Na+ and Ca2+ enter cell  depolarization Specificity of binding Specific olfactory receptor cells for each type of odorant-binding protein Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings.

30 Neural Pathway for Olfaction
Olfactory receptor cells are specialized endings of afferent neurons Axon of receptor cells comprises CN I, the olfactory nerve Second order neurons = mitral cells Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings.

31 Neural Pathway for Olfaction
Communication between afferent and second-order neuron occurs in glomeruli Second-order neurons form olfactory tract Relay in olfactory tubercle to cerebral cortex Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings.
