What are the cells that detect smell called?
chemoreceptor.
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.
What are the olfactory membranes?
The olfactory membrane is a layer of cells on the roof of the nasal cavity also called theepithelium, . It is made up of three layers, the supporting cells, the olfactory receptor cells, and the basal cells. Supporting cells help produce mucus. Basal cells are the source of new receptors. and Olfactory receptor cells, these are actually neurons and are the site of transduction. Olfactory receptor cells are the only neurons in the nervous system that are regularly replaced, lasting about about 4 to 8 weeks.
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!

How do people smell food?
A specialized smell receptor is situated In the roof of the nasal canal,called Olfactory mucosa. the olfactory epithelium is innervated by the olfactory(1st cranial)nerve and some branches of the 5th nerve.Olfactory epithelium contains three kinds of cells,namely olfactory receptor cells,supporting cells and basal cells.Olfactory receptor cells are sensory hair cells,sensitive to all kind of cells.Their axons terminally join the olfactory nerve. Supporting cells are mucus-secreting columnar cells. Basal cells are the stem cells from which new receptor cells are formed.Olfaction,just like taste,is a chemical sense. The molecules of the odorous substances reach the nasal canal along with the inspired air. Here, they dissolve in the mucus secretion and then attach to the receptor cells. This stimulates the receptor cells and they generate olfactory impulses. Olfactory nerves transmit these impulses to the olfactory center in the temporal lobe of the cerebrum(known as the olfactory cortex)
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.
What type of nerve cells receives stimuli for the sense of small?
Olfactory nerves, definetly. We're studying this currently in my grade.
Where are the olfactory cells found?
Smelling
In what cells does a smell impulse begin?
In the olfactory nerves of the nose
