∙ 15y agoThe 1st cranial nerve, or the Olfactory nerve (which is, in reality, a number of projections of the olfactory bulb), is attached to and through the cribriform plate in the ethmoid bone, and serves the function of olfaction, or the sense of smell.
The olfactory nerve is a purely sensory nerve, as opposed to several of the other cranial nerves, which serve purely motor or mixed functions.

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 ).
What is the function of cranial nerves?
cranial nerve I: olfactory:smell cranial nerve II:optic:vision cranial nerve III: oculomotor: 4 of 6 eye muscles cranial nerve IV: trochlear: cranial nerve V: Trigeminal cranial nerve VI: Abducens cranial nerve VII: Facial cranial nerve VIII: Vestibulochlear: hearing cranial nerve IX: Grosspharnxgeal: saliva formation cranial nerve X: Vegus cranial nerve XI: Acessory Spinal: trapizious movement cranial nerve XII: Hypoglosseal: toungue movement
Which cranial nerve has the most anterior origin?
There are 12 pairs of cranial nerves. Of those, the ones with the most anterior origin are called olfactory I. Olfactory I nerves are responsible for the sense of smell.
What are hair cells and what is their relationship to the auditory nerve?
the out hair cells (OHC)push against the tectorial membrane in response to efferent innervation from the CNS the seventh cranial nerve it's the inner hair cells (IHC) that provide the sense of hearing afferent innervation to the CNS the eighth cranial nerve
Which cranial nerve is the sense of sight?

What is the sensory neuron of ear?
In the cochlear (organ responsible for hearing) and the vestibular apparatus (organ responsible for balance-sense) the sensory neuron is called a 'hair-cell'. Its name is related to the appearance of the cell, which contains hair like projections on the apical surface called 'stereocilia'.
What cranial nerve carries smell impulses to the brain?
The olfactory nerve, also known as the first cranial nerve, transports impulses for sense of smell to the brain. The olfactory nerve is capable of regeneration.
What is the gustatory nerve function?
This nerve is one of the 12 cranial nerves. It is for the sense of taste. This sense is important because many poisons are bitter.
