00:00 Alright. Clock says 8:30. So guess that means it's time to get

00:04 started. Yeah I know we got this is with including this lecture we

00:10 three lectures left at the end of semester. Yeah I see you

00:15 Um Yeah I know you guys like credit. Right? Yeah you love

00:22 . Yeah please let's have some. right it's been kind of a dull

00:26 . Don't sugary. I mean getting back and stuff. All right tomorrow

00:30 uh You have a choice playing Memphis over here you go to the

00:35 Send me a picture of the final with you in itself. Selfie email

00:41 to me. I'll add it's not to seem like a lot but it

00:45 one extra point to your final See that? All right. Yeah

00:50 gonna be on ESPN. We better a student section that looks like we

00:54 to be on ESPN but what on . V. No no we have

01:02 nationally ranked teams right now and I'm I'm talking about the big the big

01:07 stuff and you guys are sitting around whatever. Yeah. No that's a

01:13 deal. It's good stuff. Right at houses. I had a student

01:18 lived in Seeley who drove in every . Yeah I know I don't know

01:22 they did that. All right. but really? I mean that's that's

01:26 night you know it's free for You've already paid for it. Did

01:31 know that your tuition? Yeah I for my tickets. Got a reason

01:36 go where you read scream a lot know Get on tv I always look

01:44 like there's my student there's my student I can recognize the goal. All

01:49 . No. Anyway so if you like doing that if you want an

01:52 point on your final grade extra point not doesn't seem like a lot but

01:56 it's you I know many of you crawl across a field of glass if

02:00 asked you to it's like you get extra point and you'd be like show

02:04 the field. Okay so don't do . Yeah then email hold on then

02:10 me. So take a selfie The big old board will have the

02:15 scored selfie of you. That means been there the entire game. I

02:19 want you walking in taking a picture going out. I want the final

02:23 yep. Yeah because it's gonna be unless we get really really beat but

02:30 nine in one. We finally made into C. F. P.

02:33 is the college football playoff hole. ? Um And then we get to

02:38 Cincinnati at the end of the year ruin their chances of ever getting into

02:42 top four. No that's sort Yes sir. Oh really? Oh

02:51 just mean who's who's doing it dr I'll have a word. I'm gonna

02:59 no sway over that honestly But here's truth right. I mean you can

03:04 and how long is the example? hour? Hour and a half.

03:08 . The football game is three If it starts at seven o'clock.

03:12 me, you'll be wanting to go the game to forget what you just

03:16 . All right. Yeah. start today. So see you even

03:20 you wanna you'll only be missing the quarter when we go up by 15

03:25 you know, or I say but it's you know, Be about

03:28 or so. All right, So now have an extra credit.

03:35 everyone and you're sitting around like It's not about football, it's about

03:39 there supporting those people who are, know, showing up and playing on

03:45 behalf. Yeah, I had a conversation with my daughter and so my

03:51 who she's in band and she's like sucks. All right. I get

03:56 . Not everyone likes sports, you ? But I said, look,

03:58 know, you're part of the There's a drill team. There is

04:04 there's cheerleaders, there's even the guy the mascot outfit and every one of

04:08 guys are out there doing your Go do it, go do the

04:11 and be proud of all the other doing their jobs. Who are doing

04:14 best because they all represent each of other as well as the whole entire

04:20 . So that's what they are. are they are the face of the

04:24 looking at all right. Anyway extra , We might throw another one in

04:32 for a basketball game. I don't because yeah, those are more

04:36 But this one I know is tomorrow that's not always easy. And I

04:42 about last night, hey man, haven't had big student sections this

04:45 Everyone's afraid. Yeah. You I got four kids. They don't

04:52 me go to do anything tomorrow I have to go to a football

04:55 game. Oh yeah. High school friday night lights from texas. This

05:01 what we do for period. Were . Yeah. Yeah, But you

05:06 me that look All right today. we're gonna do apart from just reminiscing

05:12 playing football and and having fun and like that is we're going to look

05:16 the rest of the special senses. we're going to finish up in the

05:19 . We're gonna look at equilibrium. right. Then we're gonna jump and

05:22 with the question of faction. And gonna deal with the question of bus

05:25 . All right. And really what basically we're gonna learn how we maintain

05:29 , how we can taste things and we can smell things, although not

05:32 that order. So, um, so those are starting point. I

05:36 these three pictures because we have three things that are lots of fun for

05:40 people. We have the dungeon, , the dungeon drop anyone here like

05:44 drops. Yeah. You know that that's when they take you up like

05:48 million ft and then they give you the beep beep and you're ready for

05:52 third. But you drop before the beep happens and then you just plummet

05:55 your death Right until you get right the bottom and then they stop

05:59 It's like zero I hate those And the reason I hate those things

06:04 the people in the front and see you see a big old scar right

06:07 . Yeah. So I fell off cliff. Did a 20 ft face

06:11 broke my wrist. Put a hole my face and put a hole in

06:13 knee. So I noticed like when don't get to stop when gravity pulls

06:18 all the way to the ground. not my favorite. But yeah,

06:21 did stop but Mhm. But it the right type of stopping. All

06:30 , yep. This is what I like. All right. I like

06:33 fast. All right. I don't being in a car. I like

06:36 get to my destination. You don't to drive fast. All right.

06:40 ? Which one of you is a person always in front of me.

06:43 it is alright. So when you you steal me, I don't even

06:47 at you guys. I just come up behind you. If you're not

06:49 move I find a way around you you're just an impediment. All

06:54 It's just not even worth my time get out of my way because I

06:58 what you're thinking, you're like I'm charge of the road. Alright.

07:02 but what we're talking about here is talking about you know, going

07:05 And then how about this one you familiar with this one? This is

07:08 human gyroscope. If you've never seen , you can go down to the

07:12 to have one there. They usually a spring break. So, you

07:15 , by all means don't do it because you'll be drinking and it's even

07:19 . And then um And then the place you can go is the Natural

07:23 Museum where they have it under right? They have you in a

07:26 and they limit how fast it goes stuff. Um but really what this

07:31 you can see there's actually three little in here. 12 and then the

07:35 blue one on the outside. it's right there. You can see

07:38 they basically move each of these moves a different plane. And so you

07:43 imagine if you have a terrible inner basically you start spending that thing and

07:48 just like I don't know where my is. All right. And what

07:51 want, the reason I throw these pictures up here is because equilibrium deals

07:56 understanding our movement within these three All right? So with the dungeon

08:03 we have vertical acceleration and movement. we have horizontal driving, fastest horizontal

08:10 . So, acceleration of movement And here we're basically going every which

08:15 So that's X, Y and All different planes. And so what

08:19 really doing is we're monitoring where the of our head is and how it's

08:23 relative to the world around us. that's what we're monitoring. And so

08:27 structures that do this in the best you. We have to structures that

08:30 took on this actual which really deal these two issues. Now, we're

08:34 to kind of deal with some basics we're going to deal with the nuance

08:37 we're gonna come back and just kind stay focused on the basics here.

08:40 right. So what they're doing is looking at the position of the head

08:44 static equilibrium when things are steady All right. And so what they

08:49 do is they can identify linear All right. Where's the semicircular

08:54 These are those three canals that we and we're gonna come back and look

08:59 them and they're in the three different . So, you can think in

09:02 terms like, here's the explain here's y plane and the plane goes out

09:07 direction. And so the semicircular canals looking at movement and all three of

09:11 planes and it's looking for angular Right? Which is what you're doing

09:17 ? Or if you've ever laid down a merry go round, Did you

09:19 do that as a kid? Put head towards the center, lay down

09:21 it gets fun, maybe flip it , then get spun, then get

09:26 up, Right? So, that's we're kind of looking at when we're

09:31 about these things. Alright, semi circular canals, we're gonna start

09:35 structurally. You can see 123 there those three planes. That means I'm

09:41 at acceleration in a particular plane at given time. All right, at

09:46 very bottom, you have these structures Nampula, misspelled over here. There's

09:51 proper spelling ambulance. Okay. And we're doing is we're looking here at

09:55 ambulance, you can see here is canal goes all the way around,

09:58 it's going all the way around. , there's fluid that basically moves in

10:01 circle around there in the ampule. You have a structure that's like a

10:06 bump, or basically, it's more a flap that kind of sits on

10:10 speed bump. All right, This called the cupola. It's basically this

10:14 structure that sits upright and basically is the way of the fluid that's in

10:20 tube. And so when the fluid in the tube, you're gonna push

10:23 couple a one way or the So, if I move my

10:26 it's a from from the center point from this and move laterally then on

10:31 side, The fluid is gonna move one direction, and it's going to

10:34 in the other direction, and it's to bend the cupolas in that particular

10:38 circular canal. So my head knows it's turning all right now. How

10:43 it know? Well, it's pushing flap, that cupola and embedded in

10:47 cupola are a bunch of these hair . Okay, so remember hair cells

10:51 saw in the ear are detecting the of the fluid in the ear to

10:55 us what, what frequency we're hearing upon where we're located within the organ

11:00 corti right here, we're not caring what frequency all were caring about.

11:05 the hair cells bend or not? if the hair cells bend, then

11:09 degree of bending gives a sense of fast we're accelerating. And the directions

11:14 is telling the the uh head in , or the brain in essence,

11:20 way you're turning the head. All , So, in this structure,

11:26 going to point out here that there no Odalis. All right now,

11:29 the reason I mentioned that because the organs are a delicate organs, and

11:32 they have these things called Odalis. , so, what you're doing is

11:38 you move your head, the fluid that canal. So, it doesn't

11:42 if I'm moving this way moving this or moving this way? I'm detecting

11:46 in those planes, right? And can feel my head when you when

11:50 shake your head up and down like , can you feel your head

11:53 Yeah. Right. And like No, I'm not going to answer

11:57 question. Yes, I am. you see it's like, okay,

12:02 I move my head, what I'm is I'm moving fluid in that tube

12:05 a result of inertia and that causes cupolas to bend, which causes the

12:10 cells to bend, which basically sends signal up to my brain to stay

12:14 is moving. Yeah, the little and not. So this is a

12:21 good question. All right. So you're doing this is kind of what

12:26 doing. So when you move your , what you're doing is you're actually

12:31 the tube and the fluid is actually of sitting still. It's a result

12:34 inertia, right? So, it's when you're in a car, I'm

12:37 use the example of the car, because you understand when I put my

12:40 on the gas and begin to accelerate the to slow people. That's when

12:43 put your foot and you go Okay, When I accelerate, I

12:48 pushed into my chair, right? you drive fast, it's kind of

12:53 feeling is like, okay, I'm moving, right? And so

12:56 pushing is a result of inertia, body wants to stay back where you

13:01 . But the car is moving in body, your body hasn't accelerated at

13:05 same rate as the car is You're basically that's why you feel

13:08 And so that inertia that lack of is what's actually happening when the fluid

13:13 I turned the Coppola, the fluid moving with the sorry, when I

13:18 the couple, when I'm turning the canal, the fluid isn't moving,

13:22 their head is moving, the fluids of stuck. And then once the

13:26 starts then it begins to move All right. And so the way

13:31 the couple is the cupolas and or ambulance are set up. I'm just

13:35 use the one in the X. . Alright? So using my fingers

13:38 my fingers touching was where the angular notice they're both internal. Right?

13:44 when I turn my head, what's is is a fluid and this one

13:48 moving this way, the fluid is this way as well. But what

13:52 doing is we're actually bending the computers different directions in opposite directions. And

13:57 really what's happening is is because this is saying you're bidding the hair cells

14:01 way and you're bending the hair cells opposite way. That's an indication for

14:05 brain to say, oh, I you're turning your head that way and

14:08 I turned my head the other then the couple would move the other

14:11 as a result of that the fluid as a result of the inner

14:16 All right. So it's the degree bending of the hair cells that tells

14:22 brain what's going on. So, you're doing is you can imagine I'm

14:25 at a constant rate. Right? I bend toward the penicillium, I'm

14:30 increase the rate. If I've been from the penicillium, I slow down

14:34 rate. All right. And so the change in the rate of

14:38 That is the indicator of which way moving. All right. So,

14:43 you think semi circular canals, angular , That's me shaking my head.

14:49 me going up and down. That's being strapped in the human gyroscope and

14:54 spun around until I throw up. right. All those things are easy

14:58 to think about, right? The organs. Again, they're going to

15:06 movement. But really what we're doing we're looking at movement in the vertical

15:10 the horizontal plane. All right. , structurally what we have. These

15:15 found in the vestibule. And so can see they're trying to highlight here

15:20 light blue. This would be the of the vestibule, Right. And

15:24 you can see what we're looking at we're looking at the structure. This

15:28 be an example of the color of sexual. And what you can see

15:32 we got the gel over the just like we saw in the semi

15:35 canal. Right? So, there's that sits over these hair cells.

15:40 instead of being up in the movement the flow of fluid, what we

15:44 is we have a structure that we're to give mass to. And so

15:49 mass part are the total or the . It's these are just calcium carbonate

15:54 . And what they're done is you've them in this gelatinous goo called the

15:59 . So very confusing. We have amp ula, we have a couple

16:03 and we have a macula. So gotta make sure you got to know

16:06 one goes where. Right. Angela couple a semi circular canals.

16:11 oda with Oregon's. All right. , you took on this actual so

16:17 calcium carbonate crystals are embedded in the . And so again, now we're

16:22 be dealing with the question of inertia I begin moving either in the vertical

16:26 horizontal plane that kind of sits If you can't visualize this, I

16:31 we're in a generation where you haven't a lot of jell o. They

16:34 doing jell o you know, But you ever had jell O jell o

16:38 ? But you don't put stuff in shots other than the good stuff.

16:42 really, it's usually bad stuff. right. You don't use good vodka

16:46 jell O shots use cheap cheap Right? But there was a time

16:52 you could go and get jello, at Luby's or maybe your grandmother brought

16:56 over and usually what they do with jello as they like put stuff in

16:59 jello like grapes half grapes and all of horrible things. You're like,

17:03 not sure I really want this. right, But you can sometimes get

17:06 at school school cafeteria. Did they that with you guys? We had

17:11 slurping contest. I had there was girl, she would take the

17:17 There's little petite, little thanks. little thing. Whoa. All

17:24 But anyway, um if you take o and you like slide across the

17:29 , if you watch it, it bends back right and then it kind

17:33 comes back up, right? And when it gets to the end then

17:35 kind of goes forward. And so movement, that's the inertia.

17:40 so how do you get more We'll put stuff in that jello.

17:44 the grapes and stuff that's going to it more mass. That's going to

17:47 it really been backwards and it's going really bend forward when it moves.

17:51 that's really what the calcium carbonate crystals in the macula. They give that

17:57 more mass so that there's greater movement the macula, so it causes the

18:01 cells to bend. And that's how going to detect this type of

18:06 All right, So, let's take look at them in a little bit

18:10 detail here. Alright, we're gonna at the homosexual. So, the

18:14 coal. Alright. And again, same rules apply if you've been towards

18:17 penicillium, you get stronger deep polarization a way that's going to be less

18:22 polarization. So, you can think the rate of firing in the nerves

18:27 in the hair cells. It's constant I can increase it or I can

18:31 it down. All right. Now trickle. Their hair cells are going

18:36 be standing up in the vertical All right. So, you can

18:40 this is where it lies. And what I'm doing is if the hair

18:44 are in the upright position when I've them, I'm gonna be bending in

18:48 direction. So which way am I horizontal up there on the board

18:54 So, you tickle detects horizontal acceleration the hair cells are in the upright

19:00 . Alright. The sack. You the other hand, is positioned differently

19:05 . The hair cells are embedded in direction. The macula sits over

19:09 And so when I go up an down an elevator, it's going to

19:13 in this way. So, I'm vertical acceleration. All right.

19:18 having said that, let's just make a little bit more complicated. All

19:25 . So, the very simple thing the you tickle is horizontal.

19:30 So, that's the explain the actual vertical. So, that's the Y

19:36 . But you've probably learned at some in your life about vectors,

19:42 Maybe even just watching. Despicable All right. And why did he

19:47 himself? Why did the criminal call vector? Because he does crime with

19:53 and direction. Right now, we at it now. But it's a

19:59 way to remember what a vector Alright, vector is both magnitude and

20:05 . So if I'm moving in the plane at a certain speed, you

20:10 that's magnitude, the speed and then direction is where I'm going is

20:15 Now, if I tilt that do I have a horizontal vector even

20:20 I'm going up this way, is a horizontal component to it? Is

20:23 now a vertical component to it? . So when I'm down here where

20:27 100% horizontal, is there a vertical ? Yes. And What Is

20:33 0? Okay. Now again, throwing this in so that you can

20:39 what we're doing. So when I'm an airplane and I began taking

20:44 right? I can feel me being back in the chair and I can

20:47 myself lifting up as the plane tilt I'm affecting or I'm perceiving that.

20:53 because necessarily the semicircular canals. Although do play a small role. It's

20:59 of the horizontal and the vertical Right? When I shake my head

21:04 this and say no, that's that's no, it's really weird.

21:10 one country that actually does it backwards I can't remember which one it

21:13 But when I say yes, my is moving in both a horizontal in

21:18 vertical way. So the unicorn sexual play a role in that. All

21:23 . But for the purposes of the . Okay. Because I want to

21:30 it simple is when we're dealing with acceleration, semi circular canals, horizontal

21:37 is going to be the you trickle movement is the sack. You'll period

21:42 end. Alright. So, I something. Well, you explain all

21:45 . Yes, I know. I you to understand it, but I

21:49 to keep it simple for the purposes the test. All right. And

21:52 when you're nodding your head and stuff this, notice that I say both

21:56 you took on the secular being But I'm asking you the basic question

22:01 if I'm in a car or what just keep it simple, huge coal

22:05 . You'll as you see here, , horizontal plane, musical vertical plane

22:11 . You'll simple. Okay, I to keep it like that. Mm

22:19 . All right. Olfaction. This your sense of smell. All

22:25 What we're doing is we're now using receptors or chemical receptors or chemo

22:31 Alright. We're detecting chemicals in our and the way we do this is

22:35 the nasal cavity. That's where our epithelium is located. It allows us

22:40 do all sorts of things regarding our sampling our environment. For example,

22:44 can sample our food. You smell yummy or smell something awful.

22:49 identifying other individuals. We can do . I mean, we don't do

22:53 really well, But we're not like where it's like, you know,

22:56 remember you by your smell. I smell you All right. Some of

23:01 remember that from up, right? , but you can smell somebody and

23:07 , I recognize you by your Mothers in particular can identify their babies

23:12 their smell. Men have no concept what that means. All right.

23:20 the truth is, is that between and females, we're going to see

23:23 a little example of this in a . Females have a sense of smell

23:27 about a million times greater than males . I see this every day.

23:33 wife will come in the house and smell that. And I'm like,

23:35 have no idea what you're talking Right? But ladies, you just

23:40 . And they've actually done evidence. mean, they have done research to

23:44 this, right? They can take an odorant and dilute it down and

23:48 fold dilutions. And when they okay, here's the mail. Can

23:52 smell this? This is the last . You know, I can't smell

23:55 . And then the females like, , I can smell and then they

23:57 keep diluting it down six more And that's when they're like,

24:01 I can't smell anything further. That's . Also danger. And nine times

24:08 of 10 the danger we're talking about the food we're putting in our

24:11 right? I mean, we've all it. Right. There's that thing

24:15 the back of the fridge, You know, that's what I'm talking

24:19 . Set that container that yet you about. And what you do is

24:23 pull it out, you know, maybe. Mhm. I'm not going

24:33 clean it. Right. Have you it with the milk? Yeah.

24:40 . Everyone does it with the All right now, our sense of

24:45 is not as great as other organisms can think of of dogs for

24:49 have a great sense of smell. not that good, but we're still

24:54 impressive. All right. Now where spending our time is up here at

24:59 very top of the nasal cavity. is where the olfactory epithelium is.

25:02 notice it's not the entire knows it's this region that sits really high or

25:09 the superior portion of the nasal All right. And there are three

25:13 cell types. So, what I'm do is we're focusing out here.

25:16 can see there's a cruciform plate and here, this is the actual naval

25:22 cavity. And this cartoon represents what actually looking at. So, we

25:25 olfactory receptor cells. If you look them, they kind of look

25:28 oh, I don't know, green right there, basically. You have

25:32 bulbs as long stock and then you these little tiny hairs that sit at

25:35 bottom. All right. This is cell that's actually detecting odors. Alright

25:40 . We have support cells and basil , the the supporting cells. These

25:45 what the pink ones are supposed to . They basically secrete mucus and their

25:49 is to provide nutrients and helped in of keeping the olfactory receptor cells

25:56 Um We have basil cells which can uh you know, they're trying to

26:00 them here the stem cells what they is they give rise to uh new

26:05 receptor cells. So this is an of a neuron that actually does get

26:08 on a regular basis about every 40 60 days. Um So you can

26:13 about every two months. I'm basically over, turning these over. And

26:18 not shown here is there's also glands are found within the lamb inappropriate that

26:22 mucus. So the only it's not the supporting cells that are producing me

26:26 the mucus is found everywhere. And this little area that's white down here

26:29 supposed to represent kind of this layer mucus that's overlaying or covering up the

26:35 , the olfactory receptor cells. So I wanna do is I want to

26:39 of focus on this and show you is a bipolar neuron. This is

26:44 we learn way back talking about the types of neurons. We said we

26:48 these pseudo unipolar neurons or uni polar and then we have the bipolar neurons

26:53 I said there are two examples that going to see in the future.

26:57 one of them and they're literally not the bible. The next one we're

27:00 at is literally called the bipolar. . We've already seen it. It's

27:04 bipolar self. It's like okay, easy. So this is another

27:10 So you can see here is the body, Here's the ax on these

27:13 the danger. It's at the end the day injuries. That's when you

27:15 of spread out and we refer to olfactory hairs and this is what is

27:21 found on the surface of the So you can imagine they're not like

27:24 dangling down there just kind of spread on the surface and it's here where

27:28 going to actually see the little tiny , the molecule receptors that allow the

27:34 receptor cell to detect odorant. So extensions are where the concentration of these

27:41 are located. Um the axons are to join up with other accents from

27:47 cells and they're going to be what the olfactory nerves. All right.

27:51 what they're doing is they're projecting into olfactory bulb. So that's what this

27:56 trying to show. You here is olfactory bulb. Remember what I said

27:59 you think of cranial nerve number one think you need to think of it

28:02 a toothbrush. All the bristles on toothbrush or the olfactory nerves not the

28:07 that holds the bristles. And so doing is we're projecting into this larger

28:11 which is called the olfactory bulb and what this thing is. Way up

28:15 . All right. Now, each of these cells has one receptor

28:22 All right. So, what that is that each cell can only detect

28:26 type of chemical. All right. doesn't mean they only have one

28:30 They have thousands of receptors, but only detect one chemical. All

28:35 Which is kind of impressive. Because you think about this, what we

28:41 is a bunch of cells that can a whole bunch of different types of

28:46 now structural. You can see here up in the olfactory bulb and what

28:49 doing is we're taking our axons. our olfactory nerve and it goes into

28:53 round structure and terminates on a secondary . All right, So, this

28:59 our primary neurons. There's a secondary up here. Those secondary neurons are

29:03 mitral cells or tested cells. There's different types. And so, your

29:08 kind of focuses on one over the , but they're both embedded or mixed

29:12 there. And so they create these these glomeruli which if you go and

29:18 a slice through the olfactory uh It looks like someone's taking a bunch

29:23 tennis balls or ping pong balls or or any round thing. And basically

29:27 lined them up over and over and again. So, you have thousands

29:31 these things that basically represent where a chemical is being processed for detection.

29:40 right. We have thousands of About 2000 of them. Okay.

29:44 so there's highly, highly organized. again, this doesn't do any sort

29:48 justice to what it looks like. you can imagine just kind of fill

29:52 . And then the secondary neurons they what are called the olfactory tracks and

29:57 move on to the olfactory cortex as as to the hypothalamus. The

30:02 And they bypass the thalamus. So they're basically going to where we're

30:08 to understand what we're smelling. And going to place two places where we

30:13 uh emotional dimension to the two Okay. All right. So,

30:23 is an odor? All right. , an odor is basically lots and

30:30 of different molecules and it's the sum these molecules that we detect that give

30:35 to a particular scent or a particular . All right. So, the

30:40 that we're actually detecting, the thing the molecules of makeup and older are

30:44 utterance. All right now doesn't mean always going to know. It's just

30:48 we can detect it. That's an . Alright. And so in order

30:51 you to be detectable what you need be first off as you need to

30:55 volatile now when you hear volatile usually explosive. All right. But that's

31:00 what it means. It means something can basically become uh you know,

31:07 into the air in essence, I what it easily vaporized. All right

31:11 , how do we remember? How we know this? I love this

31:13 is a perfect little picture. Whenever draw a picture of someone who

31:16 you give them speak lines, And the stink lines represent the odor

31:23 away from the source to where it to go. Right? So that's

31:28 it is. That's showing you the , Alright. And it needs to

31:31 water soluble. In other words, is primarily water plus some proteins.

31:36 so you need to be able to through those layers of mucous to get

31:40 where the receptor cells are. So you're not volatile and if you are

31:44 water soluble, then you're not going be able to smell it.

31:48 I'm not going to challenge you to this. But right now in front

31:51 many of you, you have this , right? And you could stick

31:54 nose right down to that desk and could smell it right. Would you

31:58 to You were like, no, don't want to now. Does the

32:02 itself smell? No, the reason smell is because it basically is neither

32:08 nor the materials that are there are to be water soluble, really lack

32:12 volatility. But there have been if not thousands of students who have

32:17 at each of these desks all day , every day with their sweaty,

32:21 bodies touching things, leaving bacteria and things that have multiplied and divided and

32:27 accumulated themselves onto these tables. And you have something that produces volatile molecules

32:36 you can smell right now. Look the picture at the top. This

32:43 an actual job. All right. you'll notice what they're doing is they're

32:49 whether or not deodorants work. All . Do you see who's doing the

32:55 in this picture? All women? ? Because they have a greater sense

33:01 smell? All right. It's not you know, we're mean to

33:07 Now, what's interesting is you look all the people who are being

33:09 they're all fat men. So, know, they're probably sweatier. You

33:14 , I will adhere and I think mentioned this already. That body odor

33:19 not the odor that you produce. the bacteria on your body and the

33:24 of what they're consuming that give off bad odors. All right.

33:30 So how do we detect these Since, Right. Well, first

33:36 , most of the air that you sits down low in the nasal

33:40 Some of it moves its way But for the most part, when

33:43 breathing in and out regularly, air is moving down here. Remember

33:47 have these terminates these conta which basically for air to be kind of uh

33:54 over. And so some of the works its way up and we do

33:58 up things as we breathe in. it's not like really hard. But

34:01 you think you smell something usually good bad, what do you do?

34:07 , you pull the air up higher the olfactory epithelium, you do that

34:11 sniff and you're trying to bring that up to the superior aspect. All

34:17 now the molecules these odorant are going penetrate through the mucus, right?

34:23 they're water soluble and there are actually that combined up to them and carry

34:29 to the olfactory receptor cells, not will but there are there. And

34:34 they'll do is if they combined to a cell that has the right

34:41 then that's gonna what's gonna be activating cell to tell you that that particular

34:46 , is there? All right, that's the this right here is the

34:51 . And what you're doing is that's saying, hey um this is where

34:54 need to go. So I'm gonna you bind up to that receptor.

34:58 , what we're looking at now, looking at the surface of these olfactory

35:01 cells and we're looking at the odorant to the receptor. Alright, so

35:08 receptor is very specific to that particular , I should be let me back

35:13 up. It is specific. It's very specific. It's just specific to

35:17 right now, what we're looking at is just a G protein coupled receptor

35:21 . So the same thing we've learned along, basically you activate the trans

35:25 protein. That means you're going to a G protein which activates uh some

35:29 of enzyme that basically produces some sort second messenger. The second messenger opens

35:34 a channel. This particular channel in particular case is going to be because

35:39 the polarization. So, basically when bind uh an odorant receptor, I

35:44 a channel I cause a seller to . Now, do you have to

35:47 there and know all the steps? . All right. I'm not asking

35:51 to do that, but I want to kind of envision what's going on

35:54 . Yeah. Oh, trust when you get up, if you're

35:58 the human fizz, I make you all these things. But look,

36:02 said this for those of you who going to panic for for the

36:04 panicking to get rid of the Panicking if you learn this kind of

36:09 pathway. Once you've learned it for molecules. Right? And so now

36:13 just a matter of placing the receptor which sort of G protein you're using

36:19 today, we don't have to learn . Yeah, so, you're

36:24 all right. So, we have is basically odorant binds receptor things happen

36:30 up a channel seldom polarizes. So particular cell detects something specific. So

36:36 what I'm doing is I'm basically telling brain I've detected to something specific.

36:43 right now, this is kind of complicated idea But it's the idea that

36:49 want you to grasp here. All . So what we have up here

36:52 the top of the of the screen different receptors. All right now you

36:56 2000 receptors. So we're just trying make this simple. Are you guys

37:00 sonic before? All right. And understand that there's like a whole bunch

37:04 different add ins to your sonic So you can add in like

37:08 you can add in like an you can add in, oh I

37:12 know, coconut blue coconut. You can add in line, you

37:16 add in grape. Right? So trying to get a sense of like

37:20 example here you could smell those different , right? You could smell cherry

37:24 orange blah blah blah blah. All , down on the uh on the

37:29 here you see the types of deodorant it's a B C. D E

37:32 . G. That we're not naming odorant. Right? What we're saying

37:35 we have a receptor that's capable of different odorant. Alright. But to

37:41 degrees. All right. So what saying up here looking at the Red

37:46 Alright. Cherry. It says look can bind the a odorant very well

37:52 ? I can kind of behind the . And I can barely bind the

37:56 . And all the other ones I buy into it. All. What

37:59 means is if I'm smelling something that either D. B. R.

38:02 . In it I'm gonna activate the . Or I'm going to activate the

38:06 receptor and I'm gonna activate it to specific level. In other words different

38:13 . Right? So if a bind gonna activate it more than I would

38:17 sea bound or D bound. Sorry sorry not see. All right looking

38:23 at the blue one we can see really really activates even more so than

38:28 . And so you can imagine now I'm smelling something really what's happening is

38:33 I've got a whole bunch of different in there. I got a whole

38:36 of different receptors and it's the combination odorant and the degree to which they

38:41 the receptors that they're able to They give rise to our perception of

38:46 we're smelling. All right let's put into practice. Ever smell the

38:52 Can you think of the smell of strawberry tendonitis? Right? Think of

38:56 strawberry isn't the same chemicals? No it's a lot of chemicals that are

39:03 close to and gives you the sense strawberry. Now you know there's something

39:08 of off but you still know it's of strawberry right, strawberry dollar answer

39:13 a lot like an actual strawberry but quite. That makes sense.

39:20 You ever had artificial banana? It fun with artificial banana. Kind of

39:25 like real banana does it? But not like a banana except it does

39:30 right Back in the 1930s, there a type of banana that was the

39:35 dominant type of banana that we all . There was a huge banana

39:39 It's almost funny that I say it way, right? That wiped out

39:43 Cavendish Banana. All right. You still buy cavendish bananas, but you

39:47 have banana plantations with them because once get a whole bunch of banana plants

39:51 , they get wiped out by whatever viruses that kills at this point that

39:56 banana you're tasting is what bananas used taste like. Not weird.

40:04 but my point is is that we of go yeah, it kind of

40:09 like banana when we have a banana or banana, whatever kind of tastes

40:14 it. But the banana eat right doesn't taste like that doesn't smell like

40:18 . But I can tell banana because the oils and the bananas contain

40:22 particular utterance that allow me to detect . Now, what we're doing here

40:27 remember each of these cells which have of these receptors which can be stimulated

40:33 different magnitudes are all feeding into different line. It's the level of the

40:39 , realize that actually sends information up the up to the olfactory cortex.

40:48 what this is trying to show you , it's like look if this is

40:51 olfactory epithelium and there's thousands and thousands these receptors and we're making it even

40:54 simple, we have a red and and the blue, you can see

40:58 all these red receptor cells all converge the same glow Maria list. So

41:04 not it's not like you're relying on receptor cells to hopefully detect that one

41:08 that's in there, right? There's of them. And so it's just

41:11 matter of how many of these receptors are. So again, I'm gonna

41:15 the example of the sonic drink. , and let's pretend that we can

41:20 our drink right? We have our water and we smell I smell

41:24 Right? But let's say that soda who's making your drink? Actually scored

41:29 little bit of grape in there, ? Not enough that you could taste

41:32 or see it But maybe a molecule two kind of gets up in the

41:37 epithelium. Maybe like and your brain all right, well I kind of

41:41 stimulated by a great but not So maybe this is a false

41:46 And what the glamour really are doing they're basically sorting out what you're actually

41:51 , They're basically saying well you know not really there. So I'm gonna

41:55 ahead and suppress that signal and I'm gonna go ahead and send that signal

41:59 that says there's only coconut, that of makes sense. So you're already

42:04 processing information again before it even gets to the olfactory cortex. That's the

42:08 of the glamour, realize to refine smell before that signal gets up

42:15 So, that's the idea here so . Okay. Or is this kind

42:21 confusing? Got one thumb up, thumbs up, someone in the

42:26 All right. Excellent. All So where do these signals go?

42:31 , what we're gonna do is we're from the olfactory bulb down the old

42:34 track. All right. And then going specifically in the cerebral cortex to

42:37 us a conscious perception of smell. right. Where in the cerebral cortex

42:41 would be the olfactory cortex. All . And what we're doing is we're

42:45 smells. So the first thing we to do is we learn what smells

42:49 . Right? When you first smell , it's like that's a strawberry.

42:53 . When I smell strawberry, I do All right. Can you identify

42:58 ? Just on smell? So fora looking at some so far is that

43:03 supports so forth so forth. So you have to look at a

43:07 cause she's gonna go, yep, wrong. And can you walk in

43:10 and just like Yeah, I can someone who's been there. 10.

43:16 . Right. Because you basically keep catalog of the things that you

43:19 All right. The limbic system plays role in our visceral reactions as well

43:25 our ability our emotional response to Alright, so, I'm gonna give

43:29 a reaction when I was in high played football. There was a guy

43:33 had a lucky undershirt, right? one of the sander's shirt. That's

43:36 shirt you wear underneath your pads. ? Never watched it. Yeah.

43:41 he sweated a lot. All And when I say he didn't wash

43:45 , you know, he he wore for practicing for games and then he

43:48 it in his locker after each of events and he pulled out his locker

43:51 stiff as a board. I'm not this is this is true. And

43:57 have to bang it against the right? And then kind of crunch

44:00 up and then kind of work his on it and then he sweat like

44:03 pig. And then after practice he'd and he'd ring that bad boy

44:09 Imagine taking that shirt and sticking it your nose. Mhm. Would you

44:17 a visual response, would you? , Okay. Hypothalamus. Alright.

44:26 response. All right. Think about brownies that someone you really care about

44:33 done for you and that smell. right. My grandmother loved to cook

44:37 us. She knew like when I a little kid, I loved orange

44:41 , I didn't realize it just came of a Duncan Hines box. I

44:44 she actually did stuff, but it's Duncan sign if I smell that

44:48 I mean, just the thought of makes me happy, right? And

44:52 I smelled it, cooking my mouth start watering and I get happy.

44:57 right. That would be an emotional . We'll turn it into a bad

45:01 . Think about your first crush and either the perfume the the soap or

45:08 uh cologne that they wore. If can think that you can probably remember

45:11 it smells like. And it probably up that person and all of a

45:14 it's like I don't like that Uh huh. All right. You're

45:19 . All right. That's a All right. So the amygdala plays

45:24 role in attaching smells to emotion. on to go station. How we

45:33 on time? Sometimes my stories get little bit long winded. And I

45:37 this. Yeah. Seth usually like stuff. How many guys have breakfast

45:45 morning? Good for you. The of you guys. I'm so

45:51 All right. Gus station basic sense taste. Again, we're dealing with

45:55 detection of chemicals in the oral And basically what we're doing is we're

45:59 our bodies to understand what's in the that we're eating. All right.

46:04 before we go into this and this gonna be this will be aided by

46:07 sense of affection of that olfaction. , about three years ago, I

46:14 lunch every friday with my fact my faculty members and one of them showed

46:17 late and she was like, I'm so sorry. I'm late.

46:19 was a red tail hawk out in of the library And I was ripping

46:22 a squirrel and everyone was taking pictures awesome. What we're biologists, we

46:27 this type of stuff. And I'm , cool. And I said,

46:29 know, out of my dumbness you know, I never understood

46:35 um, you know, like an , like a hawk sits there and

46:38 sits there and rips out muscle and and just, you know, just

46:44 eating it. They're just the happiest . That's, that's so gross.

46:48 she looks at me like, I'm stupidest person on the planet because I

46:51 at the time, right? I , I'm just like, it's because

46:54 their gustatory system, right? They receptors that tell them what's in that

47:00 and it's feeding right to the brain say, hey, you're getting the

47:03 that your needs. So this is it tastes good. I'm just

47:07 well, of course I'm just used thinking about chocolate cakes and you

47:12 steak and stuff. So I just think, you know, yeah,

47:15 food would taste good as well when are in need of those materials.

47:21 so that's why we develop a sense that. We just learned how to

47:24 . And so we have a more form. It's like, oh,

47:27 cooked meat tastes a lot better than raw meat. I'm going to ask

47:31 question here and you can answer How many guys? like raw

47:37 All right. So you eat raw , Right? How many of you

47:39 have ever had steak tartare? You steak tartare? No. You know

47:45 you do. Right, Okay. , stick tart tart for you don't

47:48 that that's basically raw meat. Usually you serve it with a raw

47:54 on top, you know, and of your sitting on, Yeah.

47:58 know now when I cook a steak eat a steak, it's going to

48:03 rare to medium rare. I want steaks bloody why? Because it tastes

48:08 . There's more flavor to it than steak that has been burnt to a

48:12 of charcoal, which would be what mom eats. It's like why would

48:17 do that to a gorgeous piece of ? Just go eat a brick of

48:21 . All right. But anyway, my point being is that I want

48:25 to kind of think about this when when we taste things were basically telling

48:29 body what's in there and that sense joy or happiness or you know,

48:35 , I'm eating this and it makes feel good. The reason it does

48:38 because it's sending a signal to your telling you that the things that are

48:41 it are what your body wants. is why candy and things full of

48:46 tastes so good. Right? Because body says, who free glucose.

48:54 ? But it's really your brain and rest of your body is going to

48:57 killing us. All right. there's a lot of things in here

49:01 we deal with the sense of But we're dealing with chemicals all right

49:06 where the taste buds are because you , taste is found on the taste

49:10 . I'm sure you knew that. where all this stuff is? All

49:14 ? So, first off on the of the tongue, we have a

49:17 of papillary. We're going to identify different types of papillae and show you

49:21 they are. But within the papillary are specific ones that have taste

49:26 Not all the Papillion. Your mouth taste buds. All right. And

49:29 the taste buds. So, this be an example of a taste bud

49:33 taste buds have within them gustatory cells it's the gustatory cells that actually have

49:38 receptors that detect chemicals and there's different and structurally they kind of look like

49:43 onion. So, you got green and the nose. You've got regular

49:47 out in the gustatory system. when we see gustatory cell, I

49:52 you to think taste receptor cells. , what we're gonna do is I

49:55 you to point out here, the a form is down here. The

49:57 . It's up there. We basically these crisscrosses because I typically talk about

50:01 first. But the drawing went the way. All right. The first

50:05 . I want to talk about the a form. These are called fill

50:08 form because you kind of look like tiny threads are a little tiny

50:11 Our fingers, they're very short and . They're found all over the surface

50:15 the tongue. When you go and at your tongue because you're not going

50:18 go do that. Go look at tongue. The majority of your tongue

50:21 covered in the filling forms. The a form have nothing to do with

50:26 sense of taste. Their job is move materials around in the mouth and

50:32 texture. All right. You ever at an ice cream cone, notice

50:37 the ice cream gets on your tongue your little fill a form, people

50:40 sitting there raking the ice cream if got rid of that. If your

50:44 was entirely smooth, you basically just licking the surface over and over again

50:48 nothing would ever get in your All right. We were watching a

50:52 drink milk right, basically. What's doing? It basically, it's dipping

50:58 tongue in the milk. It kind cuts it, but it really doesn't

51:01 . The milk is being is getting up by these fill a form.

51:06 taste buds ever eating peanut butter and stuck to the top of your

51:12 Well, your tongue is manipulating But what you're doing is using those

51:15 tiny fingers to scrape and pull and forced to actually get that thing off

51:21 hard palate. All right. So what the fill a form do.

51:25 you can see here they're kind of and an interesting, but they're

51:29 All right. And then over here the side, way over here,

51:32 the side we have the foley. they're found basically if you pulled your

51:37 out because you really can't see if want like that. You're not going

51:40 see them. They're literally about right . And so if you pull your

51:44 out, we're able to look at . You see these things that kind

51:46 looks like a little slits on the of your tongue. Those would be

51:49 foliate papillae. Alright. And they're very well developed in Houston. They're

51:55 active during our infancy, in our . Think about every child that you've

51:58 seen and what they put in their . Everything right. What they're doing

52:03 they're tasting their environment and trying to about their environment. And so they

52:07 a major role in understanding our environment early on, but they sit right

52:11 here on the edges way up top that. You can see the little

52:15 dots here represent where the taste buds located and notice that they're never here

52:19 the surface. They're usually out here the sides of these papillae, the

52:25 is the the fungi form now when think of taste. But this is

52:29 one you're thinking of, if you and look at your tongue, if

52:32 look very carefully, you're going to these kind of things that kind of

52:35 like buttons or dots around your tongue arranged around your tongue, fungi form

52:42 funk. Yumi comes from fun. looks like a little tiny button

52:45 Now, when I say tiny, mean it's almost the same size as

52:48 other, but they do kind of out relative to the sharp pointing ones

52:52 don't look sharp and pointy. But could use the rough ones. They're

52:56 of smoothed up and every now and you might actually have one that kind

52:59 gets out of whack. You ever that one taste. But you can

53:03 can flick it with your teeth and like, oh, that hurts

53:08 It's like wanting to pick a It's like, oh, You know

53:13 you weird things and that's one of . So there's about 300 of them

53:17 the surface of the tongue, right , primarily on the anterior surface.

53:22 they have a couple of taste buds right now, these are you can

53:25 again are a little bit on the . And so these are the ones

53:28 you kind of recognize as being taste . But then we also have this

53:30 one. And again, these are to divide the anterior posterior tongue.

53:35 10 to 12 of these are called circum validate. All right. There

53:39 . All right. They look like giant bullseye. And again, if

53:42 go out, you're not gonna see . But they sit really kind of

53:45 back. And if you were able pull a tongue out, you'd be

53:49 to see. And that's what this . It's right there. Those are

53:52 line of taste buds, alright. an inverted V. And basically this

53:58 where the greatest concentration the taste buds actually going to be located. So

54:02 there at the boundary between the post in the anterior tongue. Now,

54:07 taste bud is opened up to the , right? Not necessarily on the

54:12 , usually on the sides. And can see there's this opening.

54:15 the structure here is a bunch of that have little tiny extensions from their

54:23 that kind of poke out to the , and that taste poor is what

54:28 the chemicals to come into contact with gustatory cells. All right. And

54:32 , what we're doing is we basically saliva and as we're breaking things

54:36 tearing them apart, we're basically releasing chemicals and the chemicals get dissolved in

54:40 saliva and coat or come across the of one of these taste buds at

54:46 taste Poor. And that's where we're to detect it. There's different types

54:49 cells within. In the taste buds have a gustatory cell which is what

54:54 going to focus on the moment. have basil cells that gives rise to

54:58 other cells. We have transitional cells basically create support. And then there

55:02 nerve fibers in there found between the so that the signals can be sent

55:06 to the gustatory cortex. Lifespan of taste receptor cells about 10 days.

55:13 here ever burned their mouth on something . Right. And it's like,

55:18 do you taste for? Like the day? Nothing. Or it's very

55:23 . Right? But over time it's , okay, now, I got

55:25 sense of taste back. Right? the reason for that is most of

55:29 stuff that we put in our mouth very, very dangerous to your

55:33 All right. I mean, think rough foods that you eat, Captain

55:37 . Right? You go like I'm Captain Crunch. Just think of anything

55:42 Doritos, cheetos, anything like that basically something that's rubbing up against these

55:46 and running them, right? Things are hot, hot soup, hot

55:51 , hot tamales. Rather candy. ? As the candy, All those

55:57 . They're just basically causing damage to surface of the of these structures.

56:01 , you want to have something that for you to turn these over?

56:05 You're gonna destroy all the cells in couple days if you didn't have

56:08 And so basically we replace these cells every 10 days. All right.

56:14 not on the same cycle. They know, But that's about the lifespan

56:17 a taste receptor self. So here our gustatory cells. Their specialist neuro

56:24 meaning their neural in nature. All . They have these endings basically these

56:30 tiny taste hairs, these micro villa are extended out through that taste

56:35 And so this is what's contacting the . On being able to have the

56:40 is where the receptors are located. we have different types of cells.

56:44 have the type one the type to type during the type four cell.

56:47 most boring is the Type four cells the stem cell that gives rise to

56:50 the other ones. All right. then we have the type one the

56:55 run one response to sodium gives us sense of saltiness. The type 2s

57:02 a whole bunch of different things sweet and bitter. All right. They

57:07 a G protein coupled receptor. So why you know that They're all the

57:11 type They have a that that trans protein seven trans membrane protein that able

57:17 detect different types of things. it means there's specific receptors for sweet

57:22 receptors for umami, sweet specific receptors bitter. And lastly the type three

57:27 detect sour. Yes, I'm referring these as the type numbers instead of

57:34 . So, I'll ask you for what is the type to sell

57:38 Really? Type one But we'll make easy for you. All right.

57:42 , no. You'll see. I'll show you how it's easy?

57:44 right. But before we get easy pathway. Alright, so we have

57:50 and innovate the tongue. We have nerve number seven. That's the anterior

57:54 thirds. That's the part that you see when you look at. That's

57:58 front and terry two thirds. Cranial number nine is the posterior third.

58:03 it's in the back. All So, if you don't remember

58:06 facial nerve and the glossary for And then cranial nerve number 10.

58:10 the epiglottis and lower pharynx. there's actually detection that takes place.

58:14 you ever tasted something in the back your throat? Like the way

58:18 you know? All right. So are there are receptors that move further

58:23 . But those aren't the ones we're talking about. They're going to go

58:26 these structures to the medulla. All . From the medulla. They project

58:31 the thalamus. So notice the only that doesn't go to the thalamus

58:37 All right. From the thalamus. protect to project to the gustatory

58:42 All right. And so this is we're gonna also project to the hypothalamus

58:46 well as olympic. Just as we've before in motion and the idea of

58:51 , is this something I like. this something I don't like yada

58:56 So, when I was in school your age. There were four since

59:02 types of tastes. All right. , there are five By the time

59:07 my age there might be seven because know, it's like we used to

59:13 in a black and white world now live in a color world.

59:19 that's not gonna buy that one. , no, those those were color

59:23 . It's just black and white Everything was black and white. Ask

59:28 parents. No, john you know teasing. Right, okay. Now

59:35 reason is is that as we go , we learn about new receptors that

59:39 us to understand a little bit more what we're tasting. Right? So

59:43 I was in school we had sour, bitter and sweet. Now

59:46 have umami. All right. And gonna show you some other ones here

59:51 a second. That's like goes beyond five. And so there's probably receptors

59:57 other things as well. All But salty, salty. This is

60:01 , really easy. I've got a here of salt right? Got some

60:06 snacks. All right. What's Well, what we do is we're

60:11 at the direct entry of sodium into cell. Alright, They go through

60:15 specific channel. You do not need know the channel. Okay, The

60:20 called enact channel. You can see has sodium right there in the middle

60:22 it and basically what it is is the channels there if there's sodium there

60:27 into stealth causes the cell to So type one cells automatically to polarize

60:32 you have salt around, that's how do that sour. On the other

60:37 , is we have this stuff right and this stuff right here, we're

60:41 make this one easy. What's Oranges? What do they have in

60:46 ? Citrix or citric asset up We got a whole bunch of pickled

60:51 . What do we use for pickling ? Which is what type? See

60:58 . See the gasses if you like warheads. Yeah, if you guys

61:04 sour patch kids. Yeah, that comes from either acetic acid or from

61:11 acid. So, there's a theme , sour things have acidity. All

61:19 . And what we're detecting then is detecting that acidity. All right.

61:24 , if you've got your entire life understanding what phs and stuff with ph

61:28 is basically the availability of free Right? So, when a chemical

61:33 has a proton that can disassociate, called an acid. And so the

61:38 of three protons determines how acidic something . All right. So, what

61:43 doing is we're detecting that acidity and gives us a sense of sour.

61:48 , what it does is it binds a channel that is a potassium

61:52 And the potassium channel basically no longer the passive movement of potassium out of

61:57 cell. Now, potassium is moving of a cell. What do we

62:00 happens to the cell hyper polarizes hyper . So, it's moving away from

62:08 and so what you're doing is you're that. So that allows the cell

62:12 de polarize. And so that's when fires. It basically says,

62:17 acid The cells no longer firing. I mean now this when the acids

62:23 the cell begins to fire because I'm longer allowing potassium to leave. And

62:27 that's how we detect that sour. right, This is the type three

62:32 notice start with type one. The threes. And I said the complicated

62:36 are the type twos. Type fours easy because you're just stem cells.

62:40 , so salt ease. That's The sour. Okay, detecting protons

62:48 then now this is just showing you picture. I think this comes from

62:51 book to just show you. salt here is the sodium channel.

62:54 is the potassium channel. Okay, if you need to visualize that,

62:57 can go and look at these All right, The sweet and the

63:03 And I said there's five. here's the first one. Sweet.

63:06 right. That's sweet. Yeah. what makes that sweet? Right up

63:12 ? Sugar. And which type of , fructose for the most part.

63:17 . But if I want to start that and there's gonna be a lot

63:20 sucrose in it as well. that's sweet. Mm hmm, caramel

63:27 brownies. I presume that's care about rallies. What's that filled with joy

63:32 happiness. Alright, It's sweet. sugar. More sugar. All

63:36 So, what we're looking at is looking for specific configurations of glucose.

63:42 , now glucose is a six carbon . So galactose can slightly bind to

63:49 fructose can slightly buy into these as , but not as well as glucose

63:53 . And so when sucrose gets into mouth, you got a lot of

63:57 there. So basically that activates and everything all happy. Now, what

64:02 doing is you're binding to a specific protein coupled receptor that then basically creates

64:08 cascade that causes cells to polarize to you that sweet is present. All

64:14 . So that's the g protein coupled . Umami with something that's been recently

64:20 again. It's working through G protein receptor. And what's happening is that

64:25 acids and especially the amino acid glutamate to this particular receptor. And what

64:31 does it gives you a sense of . All right, Mommy is in

64:38 activated when proteins are around. All . And so like when you have

64:42 steak and you sit there and go , oh, the steak is so

64:45 . It's savory to me. It's you're detecting the amino acids All right

64:53 in asian foods we have a specific of salt we like to use.

64:58 creates salt saltiness but it also creates burst of flavor. What is that

65:06 uh salt that we use? Msg sodium glutamate. All right now,

65:15 is not to say asian food is savory without msg in it.

65:21 I mean it's savory in and of , but what it does is it

65:24 this surge of this pop of Because what you're doing is you're giving

65:29 taste buds an extra boost of protein says this is awesome. All

65:37 So that's why msg is so frequently . It's also easy to to extract

65:44 kelp. So that's where it comes for the most part. Ah This

65:48 a fun one. What's this? did it come from? Cocoa?

65:54 right. What's this? All What's it come from? Not

65:59 but it's related. All right. is the brassica. Alright. What's

66:04 bir where does it come from? place? Yeah, that's that's actually

66:11 I'm trying to get here is hops right. So, what we have

66:15 , we have three different things. have cocoa. We have hops and

66:20 have brussels sprouts. All right. , what do these three things have

66:26 common. What are they? What their source bitterness? Yes. Obviously

66:32 not that that's obvious. But that's we're shooting for. I mean,

66:35 think I heard you say what the ? All right. And what these

66:40 are doing is there basically trying to you don't eat me. So they

66:44 chemicals that are there to kill This is most obvious with the brussels

66:53 . Have you ever eaten a brussels doesn't doesn't say to me just I

66:58 dog dare you. You take mm sprouts don't taste good with bacon.

67:07 , all right. Let's have a . You like brussel sprouts? Oh

67:10 goodness, You poor souls, you are all tortured as Children or

67:14 Yeah, I'm just teasing. I asparagus. All right. Yeah.

67:19 that's just it. I like, I like brassica. With the exception

67:22 brussel sprouts. What is, what brassica? Brassica is, is the

67:27 vegetable that we eat in our broccoli name another one. Cauliflower,

67:33 sprouts, cabbage. Um, no , different radishes, romaine lettuce is

67:42 rascal. Yeah. Um, there's couple of other broccoli's that are involved

67:48 . Um, and also greens, mustard greens all come from the brassica

67:54 basically. At some point, someone , oh, here's a mutant.

67:57 gonna want to move that off and that. That's what we're looking at

68:01 just different mutations from the original mustard that gave rise to all these

68:07 All right. I'm saying they're trying kill you. All. All

68:10 What they're doing is they're producing these called alkaloids. Alright. And basically

68:15 the plan is trying to do is , please don't eat me. And

68:19 for some reason this particular alkaloid, like think about coco do you guys

68:26 cocoa when you're a kid, Did ever sneak into the into the pantry

68:30 saw the baking chocolate and you're eyes were like baking chocolate. She'll

68:35 know. And you got the baking took a bite and it's like,

68:40 is this? All right. Because the cocoa is nice, but

68:44 not as nice as when you have with it. Right. All

68:49 But how do I know this is alkaloid is trying to kill me?

68:52 you feed chocolate to a dog? ? It'll kill the dock,

68:58 It can't respond to that particular Like we can. All right.

69:01 another fun one. You guys like and spicy food. I think I've

69:04 this question before. All right. makes uh something spicy like a pepper

69:08 is a chemical called kick it Perhaps a son. Alright, capsaicin

69:14 the thing that makes the thing All right. If you eat something

69:18 and spicy, what happens to your ? You're like, oh, it's

69:21 . You go give something hot and to a squirrel. It's the funniest

69:24 ever. Yeah, try these. quarrels will take anything from you walk

69:31 and give it a jalapeno. Watch happens, wow. Just watch and

69:39 . It's funny if you're mean. . But in essence. All

69:44 Have you ever watched a bird, bird can eat anything incredibly spicy.

69:48 has an ability to consume keepsakes and doesn't have that same responsiveness and so

69:54 essence what these do. Our hops basically that's from a flower and it's

70:00 the flower basically saying don't eat I know you guys are death.

70:03 out here. How much time do really hope? Yeah, I got

70:06 minutes, man, you guys are to get out of here. Like

70:09 got another class in 20 minutes. all right. Right. In essence

70:15 have lots of these different types of . We have about 50 200 different

70:19 of receptors. And the reason being we need to be able to detect

70:22 poisons that these plants are trying to to kill us. Right? Have

70:25 guys learned about eating mushrooms versus Right. Are there certain mushrooms you

70:30 eat if you were walking around the and you saw mushrooms growing when you're

70:34 oh, mushrooms, I want them my food. No, you have

70:38 know what they are because certain mushrooms produce certain toxins like musk your greens

70:43 basically will stop your heart from Right? So the goal here is

70:50 to identify those things before they get your body and kill you. But

70:54 of them provide dimension to our And so we enjoy them.

70:58 how does this all work? again, you have the G protein

71:02 through a process and basically you open channels to cause the cells to polarize

71:06 right? But there's specific G G protein coupled receptors for each of

71:11 different agents. Now you'll notice What does it say? Do not

71:16 anything on this slide. This is for fun and knowledge. All

71:21 We've known about all these different case a long, long time. But

71:24 only recently within the last 20 years we've been able to identify the receptors

71:31 . Which is kind of cool. you think about it, that means

71:34 lots of stuff we don't know about bodies that we're still learning about.

71:38 just to kind of show this Remember I said When I was in

71:42 , there were four. Now there five and there are other taste perceptions

71:50 we're starting to learn about. All . So for example, um you

71:56 like sodas. All right. Some don't some you know, But part

72:01 the attraction of soda is the dizziness what we have is we have a

72:05 dioxide receptor called the car for receptor found on the on the tongue.

72:09 again, this is not remembering this for fun. Right? The car

72:12 receptors which detects that carbon dioxide. , why would I care about detecting

72:16 dioxide? Well, the byproduct of consumption of aerobic consumption is a production

72:24 carbon dioxide if you take a piece food and it's fizzy, it's usually

72:28 sign that is probably contaminated now I've this in the wild meaning in real

72:37 . You guys know what double Dave's anyone who went to texas A and

72:39 really knows what double days is. you guys remember this is a there's

72:43 pizza a franchise. They're awesome on . They make, they make pepperoni

72:49 on Tuesday, it's two for it's awesome. You go in there

72:51 get like 3000 of these things. don't pay that much for them.

72:54 can eat them, but they always the marinara out in the salad

72:57 Right? That's what you do. rolls in. And then sometimes what

73:01 do is they take the marinade and put in the fridge overnight to come

73:03 and put it out again, perfectly to do. But over time bacteria

73:09 that marinara would begin to multiply and producing carbon dioxide. And so take

73:15 marine air, take it back to table and you feel that on your

73:19 you're like, okay, this has off. It's a sign says don't

73:23 me All right. You guys like , ice creams and stuff like

73:28 That creaminess. Right? Well there fat receptors in our bodies and their

73:35 receptors on our tongues. Part of reason we like fat so much is

73:39 it's actually the best sorts of energy our bodies. And so being able

73:44 detect fats in our foods is actually our benefit, we just haven't identified

73:49 fatty receptors are responsible on our tongues . So when you're in my my

73:55 and your kids are going there are different types of receptors on the

73:58 You can don't have to correct you probably say yeah so what do

74:01 have fatty now? You know the thing and this one I think is

74:07 really kind of important and it shows How important is to understand what it

74:13 that you're learning all right. So 19 I was basically there's there's something

74:18 a taste bud myth or map. so usually what you'll see and you

74:23 these off the Internet and I actually colleagues who still teach this and I'm

74:25 like that's wrong. So you basically it's like look there are different regions

74:30 the tongue where you can detect different , right? And that's that's what

74:33 is and it happened because this guy a paper basically says look I looked

74:38 over the tongue, I found these along the surface of the tongue where

74:42 are taste buds in essence is what said and you can see where they

74:46 . Look it's right here on the portion, right over here where the

74:50 would be back here where the circum it would be, it's like this

74:54 where the taste buds are located. this paper was written in Germany in

74:58 and so people who read this if poor translation learned, learned it or

75:04 it thought it said there are specific on the tongue where these specific receptors

75:09 located. And so we get this where it's like well salty has tasted

75:12 here at the front and so it's sours over on the side and so

75:16 bitter and yada yada yada. And is still being taught today. It's

75:20 lie. You can detect all those flavors or different tastings all over the

75:27 . And how do you know this true? Put food in your

75:30 roll around your mouth, right? of wind. Does a glass of

75:34 change as you roll it from the of your mouth to the back of

75:37 mouth. It tastes all the same basically what it is. It's activating

75:41 receptors in those particular locations. But you can detect suite in the

75:46 as well as in the front and on and so forth. So,

75:49 want to just bust that myth So that when you go off and

75:53 nursing professor teaches you the wrong thing you say no And you can pull

75:57 slide out and say in 1901 dr egg did this paper and it was

76:03 . So it's really funny. Yellow like that. All right.

76:10 we just covered the rest of special . Remember we do have class on

76:17 ? The break begins on Wednesday. right. I know. And then

76:21 have another class on the following Tuesday then we have a test and then

76:25 done with me and then to not . Not tonight, tomorrow night.

76:29 do you have besides an organic chemistry ? Extra credit. If you go

76:33 the football game, take a picture you with the final score in the

76:40 and then you email it to You might want to include your Peoplesoft

76:44 name, just so I can find . Yeah. Uh, one point

76:49 your final grade. Okay.
