Once thought to be little bins for unwanted cellular waste, it has been found that cells actually communicate by producing and absorbing these exosomes which contain surface receptors, proteins and other genetic material collected from their cell of origin.
The feet are actually extremely sensitive receptors, on the lookout for the right surface on a bacterial cell.
The sugars it contains activate the sweet-taste receptors, part of the taste buds on the tongue.
These receptors send a signal up to the brain stem, and from there, it forks off into many areas of the forebrain, one of which is the cerebral cortex.
There are sugar receptors here, too.
There are many dopamine receptors in the forebrain, but they're not evenly distributed.
Certain areas contain dense clusters of receptors, and these dopamine hot spots are a part of our reward system.
When it's exposed to UV light, that triggers special light-sensitive receptors called rhodopsin, which stimulate the production of melanin to shield cells from damage.
It turns out we humans, like all vertebrates, have lots of olfactory receptors.
In fact, more of our DNA is devoted to genes for different olfactory receptors than for any other type of protein.
Could olfactory receptors be doing something else in addition to allowing us to smell?
At the time, we all assumed that these receptors were only found in the nose.
Many cell types and tissues in the body use chemical sensors, or chemosensors, to keep track of the concentration of hormones, metabolites and other molecules, and some of these chemosensors are olfactory receptors.
Olfactory receptors have been implicated in muscle cell migration, in helping the lung to sense and respond to inhaled chemicals, and in wound healing.
Similarly, taste receptors once thought to be found only in the tongue, are now known to be expressed in cells and tissues throughout the body.
Even more surprisingly, a recent study found that the light receptors in our eyes also play a role in our blood vessels.
In my lab, we work on trying to understand the roles of olfactory receptors and taste receptors in the context of the kidney.
We've identified a number of different olfactory and taste receptors in the kidney, one of which, olfactory receptor 78, is known to be expressed in cells and tissues that are important in the regulation of blood pressure.
After being produced by your gut microbiota, these chemicals are absorbed into your bloodstream where they can then interact with receptors like olfactory receptor 78, meaning that the changes in metabolism of your gut microbiota may influence your blood pressure.
Although we've identified a number of different olfactory and taste receptors in the kidney, we've only just begun to tease out their different functions and to figure out which chemicals each of them responds to.
And so when I hit the touch receptors, it sent a voltage all the way down to the end of the stem, which caused it to move.
It has touch receptors that are sending that information back down in the form of an action potential.
Here’s how shape works in normal receptors.
But what this does is it allows us to measure the electrical response of the smell receptors in the antennae, and so that we can see what a mosquito is smelling.
It's the area of the brain that all mammals have, and it's the area that has the most dopamine receptors in the brain.
Human flu viruses are covered in proteins adapted to bind with matching receptors on human respiratory cells.
It is not as closely linked with verbal perception, so our fear receptors often will be going off in advance of any of our cognitive usage around verbal and words and cues of language.
We spend billions and billions of dollars on clothing, on makeup, on the latest trend of glasses, but what we don't spend money and time on is connecting with each other in a way that is truthful and honest and stripped of those visual receptors.
When I drink a cup of coffee, I detect this cup of coffee by receptors on my body, information which is then turned into activated neurons in my brain.
Molecules in the liquid are detected by receptors in my mouth, and categorized as one of five basic tastes.
