Concept 50.3: The senses of taste and smell rely on
similar sets of sensory receptors
• In terrestrial animals:
– Gustation (taste) is dependent on the
detection of chemicals called tastants
– Olfaction (smell) is dependent on the
detection of odorant molecules
• In aquatic animals there is no distinction
between taste and smell
• Taste receptors of insects are in sensory hairs
called sensilla, located on feet and in mouth
parts

• When a taste receptor is stimulated, the signal
is transduced to a sensory neuron
• Each taste cell has only one type of receptor

• Two major types of image-forming eyes have
evolved in invertebrates: the compound eye
and the single-lens eye
• Compound eyes are found in insects and
crustaceans and consist of up to several
thousand light detectors called ommatidia
• Compound eyes are very effective at detecting
movement

• Single-lens eyes are found in some jellies,
polychaetes, spiders, and many molluscs
• They work on a camera-like principle: the iris
changes the diameter of the pupil to control
how much light enters

• The human retina contains two types of
photoreceptors: rods and cones
• Rods are light-sensitive but don’t distinguish
colors
• Cones distinguish colors but are not as
sensitive to light
• In humans, cones are concentrated in the
fovea, the center of the visual field, and rods
are more concentrated around the periphery of
the retina

• The optic nerves meet at the optic chiasm
near the cerebral cortex
• Here, axons from the left visual field (from both
the left and right eye) converge and travel to
the right side of the brain
• Likewise, axons from the right visual field travel
to the left side of the brain

• The sliding of filaments is based on interaction
between actin of the thin filaments and myosin
of the thick filaments
• The “head” of a myosin molecule binds to an
actin filament, forming a cross-bridge and
pulling the thin filament toward the center of the
sarcomere
• Glycolysis and aerobic respiration generate the
ATP needed to sustain muscle contraction

• The synaptic terminal of the motor neuron
releases the neurotransmitter acetylcholine
• Acetylcholine depolarizes the muscle, causing
it to produce an action potential

• Action potentials travel to the interior of the
muscle fiber along transverse (T) tubules
• The action potential along T tubules causes the
sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) to release Ca2+
• The Ca2+ binds to the troponin complex on the
thin filaments
• This binding exposes myosin-binding sites and
allows the cross-bridge cycle to proceed

• Recruitment of multiple motor neurons results
in stronger contractions
• A twitch results from a single action potential in
a motor neuron
• More rapidly delivered action potentials
produce a graded contraction by summation
