- 食品科学 食品科学 食品科学
背景情况:
- 口腔触觉敏感度对于食物质地感知至关重要.
- 口腔组织中的受体机制尚不清楚.
- 口腔组织在吃饭时经历不同的温度和化学物质.
研究的目的:
- 研究热感觉对舌头粗度敏感性的影响.
- 为了确定冷,温暖或热的温度是否会改变表面纹理的感知.
- 探索TRPM8通道在粗度灵敏度的热调制中的作用.
主要方法:
- 通过使用不钢优惠券来确定表面粗度的简单可察觉差异 (JND) 门.
- 在环境 (21°C),冷 (8°C),温暖 (35°C) 和热 (45°C) 刺激温度下评估值.
- 通过将冷却化合物 (Evercool 190) 与水在舌头上应用后的粗度值进行比较来评估TRPM8的依赖性.
主要成果:
- 低温 (8°C) 显著增加了JNDs,表明舌头对粗度的敏感性降低 (P=0.019).

Thermosensation
30.4K
Peripheral thermosensation is the perception of external temperature. A change in temperature (on the surface of the skin and other tissues) is detected by a family of temperature-sensitive ion channels called Transient Receptor Potential, or TRP, receptors. These receptors are located on free nerve endings. Those detecting cold temperatures are closer to the surface of the skin than the nerve endings detecting warmth. These thermoTRP channels, while temperature selective, have relatively...

Taste Buds and Receptors

Gustation, or the sense of taste, is intrinsically linked to the anatomical structures located on the tongue. This organ's surface, along with the entirety of the oral cavity, is adorned with stratified squamous epithelium. Evident on the tongue are elevated structures known as papillae (singular = papilla), which house the mechanisms for the transduction of gustatory stimuli. Four distinct types of papillae exist, each identified by their unique morphological attributes: the circumvallate,...

Here are the steps to accurately measure oral temperature using an electronic thermometer:
Step 1:
Start by practicing proper hand hygiene to prevent the spread of microorganisms.
Step 2:
Take the thermometer out of the charging unit, switch it on, and wait for the ready sign.
Step 3:
Gently slide the probe cover until a click is heard. This simple action prevents cross-contamination and ensures the correct placement of the probe cover.
Step 4:
Instruct the patient to open their mouth and place...

The Physiology of Taste
3.9K
The perception of a salty flavor is facilitated by sodium ions within the oral salivary fluid. Upon consumption of a salty substance, salt crystals disassemble, leading to the liberation of its constituents—Na+ and Cl- ions. These ions subsequently dissolve into the salivary fluid present in the oral cavity. The external environment of the gustatory cells experiences an elevation in Na+ concentration, thereby establishing a potent concentration gradient. This gradient propels the...
