Odors are the smells of the world. The olfactory receptors inside of the nose transmit information about what you smell to the brain.
That is right. Your tongue can identify only few tastes but nose can identfy hundreds of different types of smells.
Smell is a chemical sense detected by sensory cells called chemoreceptors. When an odorant stimulates the chemoreceptors in the nose that detect smell, they pass on electrical impulses to the brain which then interprets patterns in electrical activity as specific odors and olfactory sensation becomes perception.
Although the olfactory receptors are sensitive, they easily adapt to odors and lose their ability to respond to them.
One of the things it is used for is to smell things.
Chemoreceptors detect odors and tastes.
People detect odors because sensory receptors located in the nose carry smell sensations to the brain. The receptors, which are nerve cell endings, are found in the mucous membrane in the roof of the nose.
