Smell impulses are carried by the cranial nerve called the?
The olfactory nerve, or 1st cranial nerve.
The only nerve that originates from the forebrain?
The olfactory nerve
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 are the nerve cells that react to gases?
Olfactory nerve cells
What is the name of the nerve which goes from nose to your brain?
The olfactory nerve.
Do the paranasal sinuses have anything to do with smell?
Nope. Smell comes from a patch of olfactory epithelium that reside in the superior aspect of the nasal cavity. It is innervated by the first cranial nerve and that is the only area it extends to.
What is the main function of the olfactory nerve?
Your sense of smell.
What cranial nerve is used when smelling a flower?

Where is the olfactory nerve located?
Since olfactory refers to the sense of smell, the olfactory nerve would be located in the nose, or nasal cavity.
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.
What function does the olfactory nerve control?
to transfer nerve impulses to the brain
Smell impulses are carried by the cranial nerve called the?
The olfactory nerve, or 1st cranial nerve.
Where do axons from the olfactory nerve project to?
Axons from the olfactory nerve project directly to the
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 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.
What is the nerve in your nose?
olfactory nerve
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 ).
