Bears, sharks, and bloodhounds are all able to smell things from extremely long distances away. Bloodhounds have been known to sniff out cancer better than screening equipment.
In vertebrates the olfactory receptors are located in the cilia of the olfactory sensory neurons. In insects olfactory receptors are located on the antennae and other chemo sensory organs.
Chemoreceptors
Olfactory receptors are located in the nasal cavity. This leaves them vulnerable to damage, which is why it is said they are in a poor location.
The Olfactory receptors are found in the nose. This is a poor site for its job because it is far from the ground.
Nasal Cavity
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.
In vertebrates the olfactory receptors are located in the cilia of the olfactory sensory neurons. In insects olfactory receptors are located on the antennae and other chemo sensory organs.
Olfactory receptors detect smells, and gustatory receptors detect tastes.
The sensory receptors for your nose is the semicircular canals and the cochlea
Chemoreceptors
The smell receptors are called olfactory nerves
Olfactory receptors
the detect smell
cillia
Olfactory tracts
The receptors of the eye are photo receptors, the ear has auditory receptors, the nose has olfactory (smell) receptors, the skin has tactile (touch)and thermo- (temperature) receptors and the tongue has gustatory (taste) receptors.
