What impulses are transmitted by the sense of smell?
The smell receptors are called olfactory nerves
What are the cells that detect smell called?
chemoreceptor.
The receptors for smell are activated when?
dissolved odorants bind to the receptors in the cilium membranes.
What is the function of receptors in human body?
The function of receptors is to check about the taste,smell,etc. In our human body there are two types of receptors and they are gustatory receptors and olfactory receptors where as gustatory receptors will detect taste and olfactory receptors will detect smell.
Cells called what detect changes in the environment known as stimuli?
they are called receptors.
What impulses are transmitted by the sense of smell?
The smell receptors are called olfactory nerves
What are the cells that detect smell called?
chemoreceptor.
What kind of receptors are the olfactory receptors?
the detect smell
What structures are the receptors for the sense of smell?
The receptors that actually bind with the molecules that we smell are called Olfactory receptor neurons. They pass their signal through the caribform plate, then down the olfactory nerve, and finally to the olfactory bulb in the brain.
What is the relationship between olfactory and gustatory receptors?
Gustatory receptors are part of the sense of taste. They are in your mouth. Olfactory receptors are part of the sense of smell. They are in your nose.
What are taste and smell receptors classified as?
Chemoreceptors.
Why is it that several minutes after applying cologne you notice that you can't smell the fragrance?
Smell receptors get familiar with the smell
The receptors for smell are activated when?
dissolved odorants bind to the receptors in the cilium membranes.
Why are taste and smell receptors classified as Chemoreceptors because they both respond to?
Chemoreceptors (chemical receptors) respond to chemicals in food and scents.
What is the function of receptors in human body?
The function of receptors is to check about the taste,smell,etc. In our human body there are two types of receptors and they are gustatory receptors and olfactory receptors where as gustatory receptors will detect taste and olfactory receptors will detect smell.
What special cells allow you to smell food?
Olfactory receptor cells are the receptors for smell.
What are receptors that mediate the senses of smell and taste?
