- ether or chloroform
- block the presynaptic Na+ channels
- inhibit glutamate from isolated nerve terminals.
cause a reduction in nerve transmission at synapses

CHEMORECEPTION: OLFACTORY SENSATIONS

Time it took for the smell to be detected in the nasal chambers.

Shorter length of time needed for odor recognition


when the tubing was placed in the upper chamber
smell receptors situated along the surface of the
uppermost chamber of the nasal passage

Olfactory fatigue

- body becomes desensitized to stimuli to prevent the overloading of


the nervous system

CHEMORECEPTION: GUSTATORY SENSATIONS
Areas of tongue in which different tastes are detected

Taste localization is a myth


All tastes perceived equally well in all areas

Only sides of tongue are more sensitive than the middle overall.

Bitter - sensitive for the backmost part

CHEMORECEPTION: GUSTATORY SENSATIONS
Time it takes for sugar to be tasted.

Taste buds are hidden in pores in the


papillae.
Taste cells are the actual receptors
for taste
Substances enter the taste buds
through small pores on the papillae
For a substance to reach the receptors,
must be dissolved in water
