How does the sense of smell communicate with the brain?
Olfactory cells act as sensors Transmit signals via the nervous system to the brain
Dogs have 220 million olfactory cells so they do what better than humans?
When you reference olfactory cells, you are talking about the sense of smell. These nerve cells transmit what you smell to your brain so that it can decipher what it is you are smelling. There are so many smells though, and a person's olfactory cells cannot capture all of them nor can your brain decipher all of them. In a dog however, they have many, many more of these cells and a larger part of their brain is dedicated to their sense of smell. In short, they can smell a LOT better than we can.
What are the main function of the olfactory nerve is?
The olfactory nerves' main function is to transmit impulses fron our nose to the brain. It is these nerves that help us to identify smell.
What is the nerve that carries the sensation of smell to the brain?
It is the first of the twelve cranial nerve. The name of this nerve is olfactory. It carries the sensation of smell to the brain.
Where does the olfactory nerve attach?
The olfactory nerve attaches to the olfactory epithelium in the upper nasal cavity. It consists of a collection of specialized nerve cells called olfactory receptor neurons, which detect and transmit smell signals to the brain.
What is the nerve for smell?
The olfactory nerves are cranial nerves( arise from the brain ). olfactory nerve is the first nerve among the all cranial nerves. olfactory nerves passes sense of smell through nerve impulses( chemical=neurotransmitters, and electrical signals ).
Which part of the brain is responsible for smelling?
For smell, the olfactory bulb (a brain structure directly above the nasal cavity and below the frontal lobe) interprets smell. The olfactory nerve endings are in the upper nasal cavity and detect smells. For taste, lower primary somatic sensory cortex interpreters the sense of taste. There are 5 different taste buds on the tongue that sense taste.
Impulses carried by the olfactory nerve are for the sense of?
Smell
