What kind of receptors are the olfactory receptors?
the detect smell
Which cell detect the smell?
I think it's olfactory cells.
When you sniff to help you detect or identify odors you are?
forcing air to the top of the nasal cavity where olfactory chemoreceptors are located.
What are nerve cells that detect conditions of the body's environment?
They are called "sense cells" and communicate information mainly to the brain, but sometimes to the autonomic nervous system. They include cells for seeing (optic), hearing (auditory), taste (gustatory), small (olfactory), and touch (tactile) - tactile cells detect heat, pressure, and injury (pain).
What is the area on the retina where the optic nerve attaches and has no rods or cones to detect light or color?
It's called the blind spot - it can't detect light because there are no light sensitive receptor cells located here.
How do receptor neurons help people perceive smells?
Receptor neurons in the nostrils first detect an odor by coming into contact with and reacting to gas molecules of the substance. Then the receptor neurons send information about the odor along the olfactory nerve to the brain.
What type of receptors are olfactory and gustatory?
Olfactory receptors detect smells, and gustatory receptors detect tastes.
Where does the olfactory nerve attach?
The olfactory nerve attaches to the olfactory epithelium in the upper nasal cavity. It consists of a collection of specialized nerve cells called olfactory receptor neurons, which detect and transmit smell signals to the brain.
Which substance is used in LPG to detect leakage?
Ethanethiol is commonly used as an odorant in LPG to detect leaks.
What kind of receptors are the olfactory receptors?
the detect smell
Chemoreceptors that detect odors are called what?
olfactory receptors
Which cell detect the smell?
I think it's olfactory cells.
What is the function of the cold receptor?
to detect stimulus
Describe the origin and pathway of an impulse that results in smell?
Smell is a chemical sense detected by sensory cells called chemoreceptors. When an odorant stimulates the chemoreceptors in the nose that detect smell, they pass on electrical impulses to the brain which then interprets patterns in electrical activity as specific odors and olfactory sensation becomes perception.
Which sense organ has olfactory cells that let you detect an odor?
Smell
What are the cells that detect smell called?
chemoreceptor.
Which sense organ has olfactory cells that allow oneself to detect an odor?
The nose is the sense organ that has olfactory cells responsible for detecting an odor. These cells are located in the nasal cavity and respond to the molecules in the air that we inhale.
