The olfactory area is found in the nasal cavity.
A rather simplistic answer by the previous respondent, it is in-fact found in the medial aspect of the temporal lobe.
I think is lateral olfactory area.
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.
The olfactory cortex is located within the medial temporal lobes.

The olfactory receptor is found in the nose.
olfactory nerve
The Olfactory receptors are found in the nose. This is a poor site for its job because it is far from the ground.
The olfactory receptors are found in the olfactory epithelium in the upper portion of the nose. The sense is highly sensitive and easily fatigued. Information travels to your brain for storage, interpretation and memory.
If there were to be an infection in this area, it is possible that you would not receive chemical input from the environment. And for the second portion of your homework... Olfactory cells, olfactory nerve, and olfactory bulb :)
The olfactory is the "sense of smell through your nose. The cerebrum part of the brain, more specifically, the temporal lobe, is where the olfactory/sense of smell is. That is also the part of that controls hearing.
