olfactory bulb is related with sense of smell. in human it has small in size but in animals its size is so large. therefore the sense on smell in animals is better then human

Where do axons from the olfactory nerve project to?

Axons from the olfactory nerve project to the olfactory bulb in the brain. The olfactory bulb processes and relays information about smells to other areas of the brain, such as the olfactory cortex, where scent perception occurs.

Function of olfactory tract?

The olfactory tract is a bundle of axons connecting the mitral and tufted cells of the olfactory bulb to several target regions in the brain.


Impulses that stimulate the olfactory receptors are transmitted along the?

Olfactory nerve to the brain's olfactory bulb, where they are processed and interpreted as specific smells. The olfactory nerve is responsible for carrying information about odors from the nose to the brain.

Where does the olfactory nerve end?

The olfactory nerve, responsible for the sense of smell, ends in the olfactory bulb located in the brain, specifically in the olfactory cortex. This is where the nerve impulses triggered by odors are processed and interpreted.

Which section of the brain contains the olfactory bulb?

The olfactory bulb is located in the forebrain, specifically in the rostral (front) part of the brain. It is part of the limbic system, which is involved in emotions, behavior, and memory.


What are the olfactory and non-olfactory components of limbic system?

oflactory components = olfactor bulb and tract + hippocampal formation + paraterminal gyrus + septum pellucidum + fornixnon-olfactory components = cingulate gyrus + parahippocampal gyrus


How do olfactory receptors 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".
