Where are olfactory receptors located?
In vertebrates the olfactory receptors are located in the cilia of the olfactory sensory neurons. In insects olfactory receptors are located on the antennae and other chemo sensory organs.
What type of receptors are olfactory receptors?
Chemoreceptors
Where are the olfactory receptors and why is that site poorly suited for their job?
The Olfactory receptors are found in the nose. This is a poor site for its job because it is far from the ground.
Why are the olfactory receptors said to be in a poor location?
Olfactory receptors are located in the nasal cavity. This leaves them vulnerable to damage, which is why it is said they are in a poor location.
Where are the olfactory receptors located?
Nasal Cavity
Are the olfactory receptors located in the vestibule of the nose?
The olfactory receptors are found in the olfactory epithelium in the upper portion of the nose. The sense is highly sensitive and easily fatigued. Information travels to your brain for storage, interpretation and memory.

What type of receptors are olfactory and gustatory?
Olfactory receptors detect smells, and gustatory receptors detect tastes.
What is the receptor of the human nose?
The sensory receptors for your nose is the semicircular canals and the cochlea
What type of receptors are olfactory receptors?
Chemoreceptors
What impulses are transmitted by the sense of smell?
The smell receptors are called olfactory nerves
What function of the gustatory receptors are parallel to what other receptors?
Olfactory receptors
What kind of receptors are the olfactory receptors?
the detect smell
What is a olfactory receptors?
cillia
Impulses that stimulate the olfactory receptors are transmitted along the?
Olfactory tracts
What are the sensory receptors of the eyes ears nose skin and tongue?
The receptors of the eye are photo receptors, the ear has auditory receptors, the nose has olfactory (smell) receptors, the skin has tactile (touch)and thermo- (temperature) receptors and the tongue has gustatory (taste) receptors.
Where are the olfactory receptors?
