RE: # 37 Taste and smell receptors: How smell\/taste bring back memoriesCOLLAPSEResearch:
\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Taste starts with Gustation which is a chemical stimulation of sensory cells. ( Mcgraw hill, p. 572). Most of our taste buds are on the tongue but some can be found in the pharynx, epigloltis, inside the cheeks, and on the soft palate. The bumps we see on our tongue are called lingual papillae, there are four types only three being taste buds. The three that are taste buds are called Folicte papillae, fungiform papillae, and vallate papillae. Filiform papillae the fourth one is not a taste bud. All taste buds ( taste cells) use a receptor surface on the tongue called taste hairs. The hairs project into a taste pore. Molecules must dissolve in the saliva and flood the taste pore for us to be able to taste it. ( Mcgraw HIll, p.p. 572). Our 5 primary taste sensations are salty, sweet, umami, sour, and bitter. The\u00a0 Flavors we enjoy are more complex then just a simple mixture of these. Flavors are influenced by food texture, aroma, temperature, appearance, and one’s state of mind. Flavor is what happens when taste and smell come together. The sense of smell os oflaction which is a reaction to airborn chemicals called odorants. The roof of our nasal cavity has receptor cells that the odorant molecule ( smells) pass through to reach the olfactury bulbs. Fibers synapse with other cells and end up in various regions of the primary olfactory cortex. Reaching the cerebral cortex directly without passing through the thalamus. Primary olfactory cortex relays signals to both sides of the brain, so all processing will mirrored on both sides of the brain. Both sides of the brain signals are relayed to the amygdala, hippocampus insula, and the hypothalamus. This is important because they interact in complex ways to relate a present odor with olfactory memories and emotional responses. That part of your brain is where the memories and emotions are stored, so with the smells and tastes going directly to there that is one of the reasons we get the memories of old.

Critical Thinking:
\u00a0 \u00a0 Our memories could be good or bad that are triggered with taste and smell so knowing how it works will actually help me with patients in my future career.\u00a0
