specialized mucosa and taste Flashcards
(149 cards)
body mucosa of the tongue
BA1
root mucsoa of the tongue
BA3
keratinization of tongue mucosa
Eptilium mostly keratinzied except for key locations
lamina propria of tongue
flexible
submucosa of tongue
No submucosa
surface of tongue
Numerous papillae with a rough surface
what are the papillae of the tongue
some Taste buds
otheres inneratved by somatosensory nerve ending
is sensation confined to the tongue
No
separates the root from the body of the tongue
TErmainal sulcus
fibers for touch for oral mucosa
Ab and A delta fibers
fibers for warm of oral mucosa
C fibers
fibers for cooling of oral mucosa
A delta
fibers for pain of oral mucosa
A delta and C fibers

CN VII, IX, X
what makes up Flavor
Taste
Olfactory
Oral Somatosensory (temp, texture, spice)
what parts of flavor are well fused
taste and olfactory components
how is the olfactory epithlium stimulated
volatile molecules from food stimulated the olfactory epithium via orthonasal and retronasal
what part of olfaction is very important for food flavor
Retronasal (through the back of the mouth/pharynx)
do taste and olfactory senses use the same never
No use separate cranial nerves
where do Taste and Olfaction interact
extesnively in the CNS especailly the primary qustatory corte (insula)
Hypergeusia
Heightened sensastion of taste (V. rare)
Hypogeusia
Reduced sensastion of taste
