Where are the olfactory receptors located?
Nasal Cavity
Why are the olfactory receptors said to be in a poor location?
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.
What type of receptors are olfactory receptors?
Chemoreceptors
Where are the olfactory receptors and why is that site poorly suited for their job?
The Olfactory receptors are found in the nose. This is a poor site for its job because it is far from the ground.
How much more olfactory receptors does a dog have than people?
dogs have 1,000 more scent receptors then a human

What are smell receptors called?
They are called the olfactory cilia (microscopic hairs) located in the olfactory epithelium.
Are the olfactory receptors located in the vestibule of the nose?
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.
Where are the receptors of smell located at in the nasal passages?
In the olfactory epithelium, which is in turn located high up in the nasal cavity. Additionally, some odor receptors are present in human sperm, which allow for positive chemotaxis.
What type of receptors are olfactory and gustatory?
Olfactory receptors detect smells, and gustatory receptors detect tastes.
What is the receptor of the human nose?
The sensory receptors for your nose is the semicircular canals and the cochlea
Where all the ends of the sensory receptors for the sense of smel located?
olfactory bulb
What type of receptors are olfactory receptors?
Chemoreceptors
What impulses are transmitted by the sense of smell?
The smell receptors are called olfactory nerves
Receptors for the sense of smell are located within the?
the olfactory bulb is located above the cribriform plate
What function of the gustatory receptors are parallel to what other receptors?
Olfactory receptors
