taste

Question 1

Taste Transduction Pathway

Answer 1

Taste stimuli create action potentials sent via thalamus to gustatory cortex

Question 2

Thermal Burns Mechanism

Answer 2

The mechanism of thermal burns involves the destruction of skin tissue due to the heat generated by a thermal source.

Question 3

Cranial Nerves and Taste

Answer 3

So you taste the food the taste goes into the pore or the taste bud starting action potential which sends the neural impulse to the thalamus, then to the primary gustatory cortex in the brain.

Question 8

Transduction process for taste

Answer 8

similar to hearing. You taste the food, the testant goes into the pore or the taste bud. it starts the action potential process (opening and closing of the ion channels, that’s the sodium, the potassium and the calcium coming in and out) that sends the neural impulse to the thalamus, then to the primary gustatory cortex in the brain. It’s still little psyllis, little hairs that are fluctuating that start the action potential process and send the neural impulse up to the thalamus.
