The olfactory nerve.
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.
The olfactory nerve, or 1st cranial nerve.
The olfactory bulb is actually a tiny lobe of the brain. There are many thousands of different cell types in the olfactory bulb, each with receptors for different chemicals. When these receptors bind to their matching chemical in the air they become excited and trigger a nearby olfactory nerve cell. Details of what happens after this have yet to be worked out, but basically the firing of these nerve cells is analyzed by nerve circuits in the rest of the olfactory bulb then transferred to the brain, where we call it "smell".
The bones that give passage to the olfactory nerve fibers are the cribriform plate of the ethmoid bone. The olfactory nerve fibers pass through small openings called cribriform foramina in the cribriform plate, allowing them to enter the nasal cavity and transmit sensory information related to smell.
The olfactory nerve, also known as the first cranial nerve, transports impulses for sense of smell to the brain. The olfactory nerve is capable of regeneration.

Olfactory nerve
It is the first of the twelve cranial nerve. The name of this nerve is olfactory. It carries the sensation of smell to the brain.
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.
Olfactory Nerve
the olfactory (smell) and gustatory (taste) sensations pass along the cranial nerves directly to the brain. smell signals travel from the olfactory nerve (made up of groups of nerve fibres ) to a patch of the cortex located in the temporal lobe.
The olfactory nerve carries impulses from odor-detecting cells to the brain.
The olfactory nerves are cranial nerves( arise from the brain ). olfactory nerve is the first nerve among the all cranial nerves. olfactory nerves passes sense of smell through nerve impulses( chemical=neurotransmitters, and electrical signals ).
Olfactory nerve. Olfactory nerve fibers arise from olfactory receptor cells located in olfactory epithelium of nasal cavity and pass through cribriform plate of ethmoid bone to synapse in olfactory bulb.
