Sense Organ - Nose - Anatomy of Nose & Physiology of Olfaction, For Medical and Paramedical students, B.Pharm, Pharm.D, D.Pharm, Human Anatomy & Physiology
The document discusses the anatomy and physiology of the sense of taste. Taste buds contain sensory receptors that are located in papillae on the tongue and soft palate. These receptors consist of nerve endings from the glossopharyngeal, facial, and vagus nerves. When chemicals enter the pores of the receptors dissolved in saliva, nerve impulses are generated and transmitted to the brain where taste is perceived. The four basic tastes are sweet, sour, bitter, and salty, which stimulate different regions of the tongue, though taste perception can vary widely. The sense of taste triggers responses like salivation and gastric secretions and serves a protective function by inducing gagging or vomiting of foul foods.
The nose is responsible for smell and breathing. The cavity is lined with mucous membranes containing smell receptors connected to the olfactory nerve. Smells are detected by receptor cells in the nose interacting with odor molecules and transmitting sensations to the brain. The nose has a bony and cartilaginous framework supporting its structure and function. Olfactory receptors in the nose detect smells and transmit information through the olfactory bulb and tract to areas of the brain involved in perceiving odors. The nose also functions to warm, humidify, and filter air during breathing.
The document summarizes key aspects of the sense of smell (olfaction). It discusses:
1) Smell and taste both use chemoreceptors and can differentiate a large range of chemicals, with smell able to detect more. They project to the cerebral cortex and limbic system, evoking strong emotions.
2) The olfactory epithelium in the nasal cavity contains olfactory receptor cells that detect airborne chemicals dissolved in mucus. Supporting cells and glands produce mucus.
3) Signals from olfactory receptors travel along the olfactory nerve to the olfactory bulb and olfactory cortex for interpretation and integration with memory in the brain.
The document provides an overview of the structure and function of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. It describes the roles and locations of digestion and absorption in the mouth, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine, and accessory organs like the liver, pancreas and gallbladder.

The lymphatic system is part of the circulatory system and immune system. It is composed of a network of lymphatic vessels that carry lymph fluid towards the heart. Lymph contains plasma constituents too large to pass through blood capillaries, such as macroparticles from damaged areas. Lymphatic vessels originate as blind-ended tubes and contain valves to prevent backflow. They join to form larger vessels and ducts that drain into veins. Lymph nodes filter lymph and activate immune cells. Key lymphatic organs include the spleen, bone marrow, thymus gland and tonsils, which help generate and select lymphocytes.
Muscle tissue has four main characteristics - excitability, contractility, extensibility, and elasticity - that allow it to perform important functions like movement, posture, and temperature regulation. There are three main types of muscle tissue: skeletal muscle, which is voluntarily controlled and enables movement; smooth muscle, which controls involuntary functions like digestion; and cardiac muscle, which pumps blood through the heart and circulatory system. Each muscle type has distinct cellular features related to their roles and methods of electrical and chemical stimulation to cause contraction.
Receptors are specialized structures that convert stimuli into electrical signals. They are classified based on the type of stimulus they respond to, including mechanoreceptors, chemoreceptors, thermoreceptors, nociceptors, and photoreceptors. Receptors have properties like excitability, specificity, intensity discrimination, and adaptation. They convert stimuli into receptor potentials that can trigger action potentials in afferent nerve fibers, though the brain interprets sensations based on conditioning to particular receptors and pathways.
Taste is detected by taste buds located in the mouth and throat. Taste buds contain receptor cells that are stimulated by chemicals in foods and trigger nerve impulses. There are 5 primary tastes: sweet, sour, salty, bitter, and umami. Receptor cells for different tastes use different mechanisms like ion channels or second messengers. Nerve impulses travel to the brainstem and thalamus which process taste information. Disorders can impair one's ability to taste. Maintaining oral hygiene and adding zinc can help correct some taste disorders.

It also outlines the basic anatomy of smell, including the olfactory epithelium, olfactory bulbs, and olfactory neurons. Finally, it discusses some functional properties of taste and smell, such as adaptation and mixture interactions.
This document summarizes the process of gustation (taste) in humans. It describes how taste buds on the tongue, epiglottis and pharynx contain receptors that transmit signals through the facial, glossopharyngeal, and vagus nerves to the nucleus of the solitary tract in the brainstem. These signals are then relayed to the thalamus and insular cortex, which integrate taste information with other sensory and cognitive processes. The document also outlines the five basic taste categories and the molecular mechanisms of sensory transduction for each. Finally, it discusses topography of taste receptors on the tongue and labeled-line coding in the gustatory system.
Olfaction, or the sense of smell, is an ancient sensory system that together with taste enables an organism to detect chemicals in the external environment. Olfaction is one of the five major human senses (vision, hearing, olfaction, taste, and touch) that occurs when odorants bind to specific sites in olfactory receptors.Olfaction is present in most species such as insects, worms, fish, amphibians, birds, and mammals. It is essential for survival by permitting the location of food, mates, and predators, although in humans, olfaction is often viewed as an esthetic sense capable of triggering emotion and memory.

This document discusses opioid analgesics, including their classification, mechanisms of action, and uses. It describes how opioids such as morphine, codeine, pethidine, and tramadol work by binding to mu, kappa, and delta opioid receptors in the central nervous system and spinal cord to reduce pain transmission. They produce analgesia, euphoria, and respiratory depression. The document outlines the pharmacokinetics, adverse effects, and clinical uses of various opioid analgesics for relieving different types and intensities of pain.
This document discusses CNS stimulants and nootropics, or cognition enhancers. It describes how CNS stimulants produce generalized stimulation of the central nervous system and lists various convulsants, analeptics, and psychostimulants. Nootropics are meant to enhance cerebral functions like memory and are used to treat conditions like Alzheimer's disease, dementia, and learning defects. Common nootropics discussed include cholinergic activators like donepezil and rivastigmine, the NMDA antagonist memantine, and various other drugs like piracetam. Rivastigmine inhibits acetylcholinesterase to increase cholinergic transmission in the brain. Memantine

This document discusses general anesthetics and the stages of anesthesia. It notes that general anesthetics produce reversible loss of sensation and consciousness by irregularly depressing the central nervous system from higher to lower functions. The four stages of anesthesia are then described: stage I involves analgesia and loss of consciousness; stage II involves excitement and delirium; stage III allows for surgery with regular breathing; and stage IV involves medullary paralysis and failure of vital functions. The document also discusses classifications of anesthetics including inhalational and intravenous agents, as well as pre-anesthetic medications that are used to reduce anxiety, provide amnesia and analgesia, decrease secretions, and reduce gastric acid.
The cardiovascular system consists of the heart and blood vessels that circulate blood throughout the body. The heart has four chambers and uses valves to ensure one-way blood flow. It is regulated by the autonomic nervous system. During each cardiac cycle, the atria contract followed by ventricular contraction that pumps blood out of the heart into the arteries. Relaxation of the ventricles allows blood to flow back into the heart. The conductive system generates electrical signals that coordinate the heart's pumping action.
The urinary system consists of the kidneys, ureters, urinary bladder, and urethra. The kidneys filter waste from the blood to form urine. The urine travels from the kidneys down the ureters to the urinary bladder, where it is stored until urination. During urination, the bladder contracts and the urethra carries the urine out of the body. In addition to removing waste, the urinary system regulates fluid and electrolyte balance and blood pressure.
The male reproductive system produces sperm and reproductive hormones. During development, the testes descend from the abdomen into the scrotum. At puberty, the testes and sex organs mature under hormonal changes. The testes produce sperm through spermatogenesis and store them in the epididymis. During ejaculation, sperm and secretions from the seminal vesicles, prostate, and bulbourethral glands are expelled through the urethra. The male sex hormones support secondary sex characteristics and sperm production. Sperm travel through the duct system and are ejaculated in semen to potentially fertilize an egg.
The respiratory system allows for gas exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide. It includes the nose, pharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchi, bronchioles and lungs. The upper respiratory tract includes the nose, nasal cavity and sinuses which warm, moisten and filter inhaled air. The lower respiratory tract includes the lungs and airways inside the chest. The lungs contain bronchioles and alveoli where gas exchange occurs. During respiration, oxygen is absorbed into the blood from the alveoli and carbon dioxide is released, in a continuous cycle of breathing in and out.
ANTI PSYCHOTIC AGENTS / ANTI PSYCHOTIC DRUGS / DRUG USED IN THE TREATMENT OF ...Kameshwaran Sugavanam
Antipsychotic drugs are used to treat major psychoses by blocking dopamine receptors in the brain. There are two main classes - typical antipsychotics like chlorpromazine which are older phenothiazines that strongly block D2 receptors, and atypical antipsychotics like clozapine which have weaker D2 blocking but also act on serotonin receptors. Typical antipsychotics can cause side effects like drowsiness and dystonia while atypicals have fewer side effects. Clozapine is the most effective treatment for treatment-resistant schizophrenia but requires blood monitoring due to the risk of agranulocytosis.
ANTI ALZHEIMER'S AGENTS / DRUGS USED IN THE TREATMENT OF ALZHEIMER'S DISEASEKameshwaran Sugavanam
This document discusses drugs used to treat Alzheimer's disease. It focuses on cholinergic activators like rivastigmine and donepezil, which work by inhibiting the breakdown of acetylcholine in the brain to increase levels of this neurotransmitter that is deficient in Alzheimer's patients. It also discusses memantine, an NMDA receptor antagonist that blocks glutamate receptors and protects nerve cells from damage. Common side effects of these drugs include nausea, diarrhea, vomiting and headaches. The document provides details on the mechanisms and effects of rivastigmine and memantine as two major drug classes used to treat symptoms of Alzheimer's disease.

2. Chemical Senses
- Taste & smell:
(Both determine the flavour of food)
Taste & smell are closely linked even though they
involve different receptors and receptive
processes.
3. Taste sensation
5 primary tastes
♥ Sour – stimulated by acids
♥ Sweet – stimulated by sugars, alcohols, some amino acid
♥ Bitter – stimulated by bases
♥ Salty – stimulated by metal ions
♥ Umami - Meaty or savory taste/ pleasant taste
4. Sensitivity of the taste buds in different
locations.
Anterior tongue is
more sensitive to
sweet and salty
substances
Posterior tongue is
more sensitive to bitter
substances.
Lateral tongue is more
sensitive to sour
substances.
5. Taste Receptors:
Taste receptors are known as ‘Chemoreceptors’
Chemoreceptors housed in taste buds
Taste receptors have life span of about 10 days
In association with food intake, influence flow of
digestive juices and affect appetite
Taste buds located in:
Tongue
Epiglottis
Soft Palate
Pharynx
6. Taste buds
Most are on the tongue.
Taste buds present within Papillae of tongue
The different types of papillaes are
Filiform - rough, conical shape, few taste buds
Fungiform – scattered; most numerous on sides and
tips
Circumvallate –largest; least numerous; back of
tongue
Taste pore
Opening through which fluids in mouth come into contact
with surface of receptor cells
Taste receptor cells
Modified epithelial cells with surface folds called microvilli
Plasma membrane of microvilli contain receptor sites that
bind selectively with chemical molecules
