Airflow will be restricted, corrective surgery required to repair olfactory epithelium
OSN dendrites will be sheared and you will be ataxic
The nasal passage will collapse resulting in damaged airflow
7. What is the McClintock effect?
The synchronisation of menstrual cycles has a emotional basis
The synchronisation of menstrual cycles has an astrological basis
The synchronisation of menstrual cycles has a pheremone basis
The synchronisation of menstrual cycles has a sociocognitive basis
8. In Wedekind (1995)...?
Females not on pill preferred males with similar HLAs. On the pill they also prefered those with similar
Females not on pill preferred males with different HLAs. On the pill they prefered those with similar
Females not on pill preferred males with different HLAs. On the pill they also prefered those with different
Females not on pill preferred males with similar HLAs. On the pill they prefered those with different
9. Which of these is NOT a theory of smell?
Vibration theory
Swipecard theory
Convergence theory
Shape theory
10. What is blindsmell?
Unconciously detecting smells
Conciously detecting smells
Blind peoples perception of concious smell
Blind peoples perception of unconcious smell
11. How many distinct chemoreceptors are/basic tastes?
3 but they do not correspond to the basic tastes
5

12. How do we smell odors composed of more than one molecule?
Glomeruli projections overlap in olfactory cortex and individual cortical neurons receive input from multiple glomeruli. The overlapping activation is associated with the object
Glomeruli projections overlap in somatosensory cortex and individual cortical neurons receive input from multiple glomeruli. The overlapping activation is associated with the object
Glomeruli projections overlap in olfactory cortex and individual cortical neurons receive input from multiple glomeruli. The response pattern is associated with the object

13. What is the flow of air through your nose disrupted by?
Olfactory epithelium
Olfactory cleft
Turbinates
Olfactory bulb
14. Odorous molecules are typically?
Small, volatile and hydrophillic
Small, volatile and hydrophobic
Large, volatile and hydrophobic
Large, volatile and hydrophillic
15. Is there evidence suggesting lateralisation of the tongue?
Yes, but not clearly defined
No, it is not clear

16. Each glomerus receives input expressing...?
The same surface receptor
2+ chemoreceptor inputs
A range of surface receptors
Surface receptors of a specific basic taste
17. What is the core concept of vibration theory?
Molecules with the same IR vibrational spectrum should smell similar, same shape diff vibrations smell different. Bond energies determine activation level
A two-stage theory. Molecules must be the right shape to bond to receptor sites but bond energies determine final activation level.
Receptor specificity is based on molecular structure. Oderants must have the right shape to activate the receptor, there is a certain receptor for each molecule
18. Is the McClintock effect well supported?
No, original studies were barely significant and accounting for random sync removes effect. No support from large scale long term. Why?
Yes, original studies are well replicated in both clinical and natural settings and it is widely accepted knowledge
19. When you smell a gas leak what are you actually smelling?
Sodium chloride
Memphetamine
Butyl mercaptan
Methane
20. Each OSN...?
Are resistant to damage due to highly internalised structure
