What nerve that connected in the nose?
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.
Which part of the brain is responsible for smelling?
For smell, the olfactory bulb (a brain structure directly above the nasal cavity and below the frontal lobe) interprets smell. The olfactory nerve endings are in the upper nasal cavity and detect smells. For taste, lower primary somatic sensory cortex interpreters the sense of taste. There are 5 different taste buds on the tongue that sense taste.
What are the main function of the olfactory nerve is?
The olfactory nerves' main function is to transmit impulses fron our nose to the brain. It is these nerves that help us to identify smell.
Which cranial nerves carries only sensory information?
The question is asking what three cranial nerves are purely sensory in their function. Some relevant terms here are olfactory, optic, and auditory or vestibucochlear or acoustic nerves. The only three cranial nerves that are pure sensory in function are cranial nerve #1 : the olfactory nerve (smell), cranial nerve #2 : the optic nerve (sight), and cranial nerve #8 : the auditory/vestibucochlear/acoustic nerve (hearing).
What cranial nerve carries smell impulses to the brain?
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.
Which nerve carries impulses from the cells that detect smells?
The olfactory nerve carries impulses from odor-detecting cells to the brain.
What function does the olfactory nerve control?
to transfer nerve impulses to the brain
What nerve transmit the sense of smell to the brain?
Olfactory nerve
When you smell does it go to the spine or the brain?
definitely the brain. The olfactory nerve transmits the signals straight to brain.
Pure sensory cranial nerve?
Cranial nerves are primarily sensory. These nerves are directly between the brain and the brainstem and are responsible for smell, vision, eye movement, facial sensation, and the tongue movement.
Which cranial nerve conduct the sense of smell impulses from nose to the brain?
olfactory
Why would you smell things that are not there like something burning?
Whether it's something burning or any other smell that's not there, it's all in your head, and I mean that literally, I'm not joking.. Only way you can smell is through the olfactory nerve in your nose, which sends that signal to your brain.... Put briefly, you are having simple partial seizures in your temporal lobe..Abnormal electrical discharges in that part of the brain is creating this sensation of smell, but the smell does not exist...Go see a Nuerologist, and get an EEG and you will understand...It can be controlled with Meds..

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.
What is the nerve for smell?
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 ).
