smell and taste two organs very close related yeah coffee can remind me of different things
00:00:00
during the morning and wake me up but also why did i feel that sense because i have my sense of a
00:00:21
smell and my sense of taste. We're going to study them both today, chemoreceptors, smell
00:00:28
and taste. Let's start with one of the most primitive senses that we have, sense of smell,
00:00:37
2.2 smell. If we cut our head here in the middle and we see through our nose, this is
00:00:53
what we will see basically we will see nasal cavity that is the area where all
00:01:03
the air is going to get into the body we have healed the nose trills with some
00:01:09
hairs that we have seen in the respiratory system that are very
00:01:15
important to lubricate and to moisten and to warm temperature and also to
00:01:19
trap some substances that could be bad for our body because also when we are
00:01:27
inhalating we get the oxygen but we also can't have viruses we can't have
00:01:32
pollution we can't have very really bad substances inside of ourselves but let's
00:01:38
think of something a little bit more exciting food so imagine that we are
00:01:44
eating something and we smell it first these chemical substances of this dish
00:01:51
is going to get inside our nasal cavity I have made these substances in green
00:01:59
and red we cannot see them but we inhale them and they get inside our nasal
00:02:05
cavity yes some of them will get into the air and be trapped there some of
00:02:10
them we swallow and we get into our digestive system but most of them will
00:02:15
go up until they get to the olfactory mucosa this mucosa is a a place where the neurons are going to
00:02:21
have some of their of the dendrites to detect these chemical substances these dendrites are
00:02:31
going to drop these chemical substances diluted with the mock mucus that we have on this area
00:02:41
with this dilution this dendrites send the nerve impulse into the olfactory nerve which is going
00:02:48
to carry the information up to our brain this nerve is going to go directly into our cerebrum
00:02:55
onto our frontal lobe in the frontal lobe there's going to be the identification of all the
00:03:05
different others that we can perceive but also there is some part that will go to the hypothalamus
00:03:11
the hypothalamus is the area of all sensations and it's going to remind us of something good
00:03:18
something bad something maybe that we have smell years and years ago but we are really happy to
00:03:24
have smelled this time here what we have in our olfactory mucosa are different neurons
00:03:33
that are going to detect different odors. One neuron, one odor. So we have, as you can imagine,
00:03:40
hundreds and hundreds of neurons here that are going to detect the different odors. It's not
00:03:49
the same the odor of a mandarin, like the odor of a strawberry, and each neuron is going to detect
00:03:55
them. We don't have the same neuron for strawberries and mandarin, I can tell you.
00:04:02
our smell organs are very important for us they are very primitive we already had it when we were
00:04:06
not even human when we were a simple fish that was swimming into the cambrian period we already
00:04:15
have the sense of smell why is that important because it's the going to way to recognize the
00:04:24
environment. We can recognize danger, for example, if we smell burn or we can recognize all the
00:04:29
people. Imagine a baby when it's born, the only sense that he or she can rely on is the sense of
00:04:38
smell and he or she will smell his mother or her mother and know that it's her because the sense
00:04:45
of smell is the most primitive sense that we use. It's so important that five percent of our genes
00:04:51
five percent of our genome about 400 genes are those that make the sense of smell whereas the
00:04:59
side that we use it every day and is very useful there are only three genes related to the sense
00:05:07
of sight maybe you have a here or sense that kobe patients lose the sense of smell about 80 percent
00:05:15
of the covid patient have noticed some changes in the sense of smell it could be the total lose of
00:05:25
it that is an illness called anosmia or smell blindness when you cannot sense any anything
00:05:32
of a smell or maybe to change some of the others that one other that before was good now they
00:05:41
detected that is not good but also the sense of smell is going to tell us about some illnesses
00:05:47
like for example parkinson or alzheimer disease if there is a lose of smell it's an early predictor
00:05:55
of these senses we are talking a lot about food and about smelling but what about tasting let's
00:06:04
it closely connected with the smell we have the sense of taste we get to our mouth but we also
00:06:14
have chemical substances that are going to activate certain neurons these neurons are
00:06:22
the receptors that are going to carry the information from our mouth from the food that we
00:06:30
to get to our brain. Let's see how they do. What we have here is a drawing of one
00:06:36
of the taste buds that we have on our tongue. We do not have only the
00:06:43
sense of taste in our tongue, it's all over our mouth, in our tongue, our teeth,
00:06:51
our cheeks, our palate, but we are going to focus on the tongue where we
00:06:56
have most of the taste buds. These taste buds are integrated into the lingual epithelium on
00:07:02
our tongue. That's why we have an epithelium here in which we have other receptors, like the
00:07:10
receptors of temperature, the thermoreceptors. We have also receptors of pain. That's why when we
00:07:17
get something really hot on our mouth we get burned and we feel pain on our on our tongue
00:07:24
as you see here on the upper part we have the oral cavity so we are going to get substances inside
00:07:32
and if these substances are going to be dissolved with our saliva these chemical substances we get
00:07:38
with the saliva and are going to make contact with the microbial this microbial are going to
00:07:45
be moving, trying to catch substances here on the taste pore, so it's a place that is open to the
00:07:52
oral cavity, and these microvilli are part of the taste receptor cells. These taste
00:07:59
receptor cells are neurons, don't forget about it, and when the chemical substance contact them,
00:08:07
they are going to be excited and they are going to release a nerve impulse.
00:08:14
this nerve impulse is going to get out of the taste bud by the nerve and it's going to get all
00:08:19
the way by our nerves to the brain where it's going to get all the information which is going
00:08:27
to be integrated on our brain on the cerebrum specifically the frontal and the parietal lobe
00:08:34
There are also other types of cells which are going to support the taste receptor cells.
00:08:43
These are the support cells, which I made in green here.
00:08:49
Maybe when you were a child, you have studied this picture here,
00:08:53
with all the different flavors, saying that the taste flavor is on the front part of our tongue,
00:08:57
the salty flavor is on the side. Well, that is wrong.
00:09:04
Sorry, that is wrong.
00:09:08
we cannot talk about that anymore no because basically all the different taste buds can taste
00:09:11
all the different flavors it's true that we have certain flavors like the sour flavor which we are
00:09:19
going to feel more at the back of our mouth why is that because most of the poisons that we could
00:09:27
get by food are sour so when we eat a venom a poison thing we can activate our defense and we
00:09:35
can vomit it how many flavors do we have we have at least six or seven flavors we don't have any
00:09:46
more than four flavors that we knew but food is not only flavors it's also emotions when we eat
00:09:53
something we remind of so maybe we remind of a certain place of a different situation where we
00:10:01
have eaten that food especially if it's a good food a really bad food we can think oh this food
00:10:08
was really good i ate it somewhere and i really like it so when we eat it we eat maybe we eat
00:10:14
more because we remember it or if we didn't like it it's a this is not good for me i better not
00:10:21
idiot. Why is that? Because also these nerves end up in the hypothalamus, which is a part of
00:10:27
our brain, which is going to be responsible for emotions. That's why we can smell, for example,
00:10:34
a food that we eat in summer, like gazpacho, for example, and we think, oh, I remember I had such
00:10:43
great time when I was at the swimming pool and I get home and I get that for lunch. Well, that's
00:10:50
because your tongue is also connected with your hypothalamus and your emotions. Today we have
00:10:59
studied two of the senses which are chemoreceptors, meaning that they have chemical substances
00:11:06
related to them, the smell and the taste. We have another two senses left, hearing and seeing
00:11:12
for next day
