Dogs have 220 million olfactory cells so they do what better than humans?
When you reference olfactory cells, you are talking about the sense of smell. These nerve cells transmit what you smell to your brain so that it can decipher what it is you are smelling. There are so many smells though, and a person's olfactory cells cannot capture all of them nor can your brain decipher all of them. In a dog however, they have many, many more of these cells and a larger part of their brain is dedicated to their sense of smell. In short, they can smell a LOT better than we can.
What is the part of my nose that holds your olfactory cells?
The olfactory epithelium contains 10 million olfactory cells. Since you have two nostrils, you have a total of 20 million smell cells!

While you have 5 million olfactory cells and cats have 60 million and dogs have 220 million what can they do better than you?
SMELL
How many olfactory cells does a human have?
Generally, around 20 million.
Where is the olfactory epithelium found?
The olfactory epithelium occupies an area of about 5 cm2 in the roof of the nasal cavity. The specialized receptor cells in the olfactory epithelium are surrounded by supporting cells, non-sensory epithelial cells. The olfactory receptor cells are bipolar neurons whose olfactory cilia extend outward from the epithelium.
While you have 5 million olfactory cells cats have 60 million and dogs have 220 millionso they can do something better than you What?
Smell
What type of nerve cells receives stimuli for the sense of small?
Olfactory nerves, definetly. We're studying this currently in my grade.
These cells provide physical support nurshment and electrical insulation for olfatory receptors cells?
These cells are called sustentacular cells or supporting cells. They surround and support the olfactory receptor cells in the olfactory epithelium. They provide physical support, nourishment, and electrical insulation to the olfactory receptor cells, helping to maintain their function.
Where are the olfactory cells found?
Smelling
In what cells does a smell impulse begin?
In the olfactory nerves of the nose
How many odor detecting cells?
The olfactory bulb can detect the smell of odor particles.
