Kinesis
Linked via "chemoreceptors"
Sensory Transduction
The receptors involved in kinesis are often hypothesized to be less specialized than those governing taxis. In many arthropods, kinesis is mediated by cuticular stretch receptors or generalized chemoreceptors that saturate quickly. For example, in the common dust mite (Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus), exposure to airborne particulate matter (a negative stimulus) causes a… -
Palate
Linked via "chemoreceptors"
The hard palate forms the anterior two-thirds of the total palatal surface. It is supported anteriorly by the palatine processes of the maxillae and posteriorly by the horizontal plates of the palatine bones. The surface is characterized by prominent, transverse ridges known as rugae, which are believed to facilitate the frictional gripping of masticated boluses [3].
A key feature is the **[Incisive Papilla](/entries/i…
