How many odor detecting cells?

How do olfactory receptor cells work to make smell possible?
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".

What is the function of the olfactory bulb in a fish?
enhancing discrimination between odors.enhancing sensitivity of odor detection.filtering out many background odors to enhance the transmission of a few select odors.permitting higher brain areas involved in arousal and attention to modify the detection or the discrimination of odors.Olfactory nerves act as transducers - changing chemical signals, as when an odor chemical binds to its receptor at an olfactory dendritic nerve ending, into nerve impulses - that is (i.e.) biological signals. These reside in the mucous membrane.Nerve fibers leave the olfactory cells and enter the skull through the ethmoid bone, then disappear into the 'olfactory bulb' located at the anterior end of the 'olfactory tract', which then leads to the frontal - and eventually the temporal - lobe of the cerebrum.
