Chapter 6
Section 4: Other Senses
![Page 2: Chapter 6 Section 4: Other Senses. Taste: Savory Sensations Taste occurs because chemicals stimulate thousands of receptors in the mouth, primarily on.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56649f055503460f94c1a42e/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
Taste: Savory Sensations
• Taste occurs because chemicals stimulate thousands of receptors in the mouth, primarily on the tongue, but also in the throat, cheeks, & roof of mouth
![Page 3: Chapter 6 Section 4: Other Senses. Taste: Savory Sensations Taste occurs because chemicals stimulate thousands of receptors in the mouth, primarily on.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56649f055503460f94c1a42e/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
• Papillae: Knoblike elevations on the tongue, containing the taste buds
![Page 4: Chapter 6 Section 4: Other Senses. Taste: Savory Sensations Taste occurs because chemicals stimulate thousands of receptors in the mouth, primarily on.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56649f055503460f94c1a42e/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
• Actual receptors for taste are inside the taste buds–Cells send tiny fibers out through an
opening in the bud–Receptor cells are replaced by new
cells every ten days–After 40, total number of taste buds
declines

• Bitterness & sourness help us identify foods that are rancid or poisonous• Sweetness helps us identify foods
that are healthful or rich in calories• Salt is necessary for all bodily
functions

• Basic tastes can be perceived at any spot on the tongue–Center has no taste buds
• Taste differences are genetic, a matter of culture & learning• Attractiveness of a food can also be
affected by its color, temperature, texture, & odor

Smell: The Sense of Scents• Smell or olfaction
![Page 8: Chapter 6 Section 4: Other Senses. Taste: Savory Sensations Taste occurs because chemicals stimulate thousands of receptors in the mouth, primarily on.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56649f055503460f94c1a42e/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
• Airborne chemical molecules enter the nose & circulate through the nasal cavity.–Vapors can also enter through the
mouth & pass into nasal cavity.

• Sniff out dangers by smelling smoke, food spoilage, & poisonous gases–Loss can be caused by
infection, disease, injury, or smoking

• Red bars show the people who could identify a substance dropped on the tongue when they were able to smell it
• Blue bars show the people who could identify the substance when they were not able to smell it

Senses of the Skin
• Protects our innards, helps identify objects, establish intimacy with others, gives us a sense of ourselves as a distinct from the environment• Basic senses- touch/pressure, warmth,
cold, & pain–Tickle, itch, & burning
![Page 12: Chapter 6 Section 4: Other Senses. Taste: Savory Sensations Taste occurs because chemicals stimulate thousands of receptors in the mouth, primarily on.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56649f055503460f94c1a42e/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
The Mystery of Pain
• When the stimulus producing it is removed, the sensation may continue, sometimes for years• Chronic pain disrupts lives, puts
stress on the body, & causes depression, & despair
![Page 13: Chapter 6 Section 4: Other Senses. Taste: Savory Sensations Taste occurs because chemicals stimulate thousands of receptors in the mouth, primarily on.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56649f055503460f94c1a42e/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
The Gate Control Theory of Pain
• Experience of pain depends (in part) on whether the pain impulse gets past neurological “gate” in the spinal cord & thus reaches the brain.
![Page 14: Chapter 6 Section 4: Other Senses. Taste: Savory Sensations Taste occurs because chemicals stimulate thousands of receptors in the mouth, primarily on.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56649f055503460f94c1a42e/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
• Brain influences the gate–Thoughts & feelings can
influence our reactions to pain
![Page 15: Chapter 6 Section 4: Other Senses. Taste: Savory Sensations Taste occurs because chemicals stimulate thousands of receptors in the mouth, primarily on.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56649f055503460f94c1a42e/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Updating the Gate Control Theory
• Doesn’t explain phantom pain• Brain not only responds to incoming
signals from sensory nerves but is also capable of generating pain entirely on its own–A network of neurons in the brain
gives us a sense of our own bodies & body parts
![Page 16: Chapter 6 Section 4: Other Senses. Taste: Savory Sensations Taste occurs because chemicals stimulate thousands of receptors in the mouth, primarily on.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56649f055503460f94c1a42e/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Neuromatrix Theory of Pain
• Theory that the matrix of neurons in the brain is capable of generating pain (& other sensations) in the absence of signals from sensory nerves
![Page 17: Chapter 6 Section 4: Other Senses. Taste: Savory Sensations Taste occurs because chemicals stimulate thousands of receptors in the mouth, primarily on.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56649f055503460f94c1a42e/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
The Environment Within
• Kinesthesis: The sense of body position and movement of body parts–Information provided by pain &
pressure receptors located in muscles, joints, & tendons
![Page 18: Chapter 6 Section 4: Other Senses. Taste: Savory Sensations Taste occurs because chemicals stimulate thousands of receptors in the mouth, primarily on.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56649f055503460f94c1a42e/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
• Equilibrium: The sense of balance–Gives us information about our bodies as a
whole–Relies on three semicircular canals in the
inner ear• Tubes are filled with fluid that moves &
presses on hair like receptors whenever the head rotates
![Page 19: Chapter 6 Section 4: Other Senses. Taste: Savory Sensations Taste occurs because chemicals stimulate thousands of receptors in the mouth, primarily on.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56649f055503460f94c1a42e/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
• Receptors intake messages that travel through a part of the auditory nerve not involved in hearing
