ANSWERS
A. IN ORDER FOR YOU TO TASTE SOMETHING ,THE TASTANT MUST BE ABLE TO DISSOLVE IN WATER.
Explanation: In order for to have taste sensation in food , chemicals from the food must first dissolve in saliva. Taste perception occurs as these water-soluble chemicals in the mouth contact with the epithelial cells of the taste buds.
*Circumvallate papillae, located on the surface of the back part of the tongue.
* Taste buds are located at anterior two-third of tounge.
*Filliform papillae do not posses taste buds.
* Gustatory cortex located at parietal lobe.
B. CONTRACTION OF PUPILS
Explanation: Parasympathetic stimulation causes contraction of the circular muscle and constriction of the pupil. Remaining options are associated with sympathetic stimulation.
C. TO DETERMINE MOTIVATIONAL COMPONENT OF PAIN.
Explanation: Pain is unpleasant sensation that protects the organism by promoting motivation and learning.Anterior cingulate gyrus is the cortical area that has been most frequently linked to the experience of pain. It is associated with the emotional reaction to pain.
D RECOGNIZED BY MITRAL CELLS
Explanation; Mitral and external tufted cells are primary neurons of olfactory bulb ,which strongly correlates identity and concentration of an odour.
E. LATERAL GENICULATE NUCLEUS
Explanation: The optic radiations project from the dorsal nuclei of the lateral geniculate nucleus to the primary visual cortex V1.
