The olfactory lobes of a pig are very large. This is important so that the pig can use its sense of smell effectively.

What is the function of the olfactory bulb in a fish?
enhancing discrimination between odors.enhancing sensitivity of odor detection.filtering out many background odors to enhance the transmission of a few select odors.permitting higher brain areas involved in arousal and attention to modify the detection or the discrimination of odors.Olfactory nerves act as transducers - changing chemical signals, as when an odor chemical binds to its receptor at an olfactory dendritic nerve ending, into nerve impulses - that is (i.e.) biological signals. These reside in the mucous membrane.Nerve fibers leave the olfactory cells and enter the skull through the ethmoid bone, then disappear into the 'olfactory bulb' located at the anterior end of the 'olfactory tract', which then leads to the frontal - and eventually the temporal - lobe of the cerebrum.
Why do pigs get big?
Pigs get big because they are pigs so they eat alot ;)
Do pigs have a anus?
yes and so do you
Why are pigs so fat?
Pigs are not necessarily fat (although some are), they look large because of the length of their body core and their short legs make them seem like they are fat. Pigs carry alot of meat on their carcass due to the rates that they grow.
Do pigs have wings what does this mean?
It is referring to the phrase "Pigs might fly". It means that they don't have wings, so if you have asked someone a question and their response was "Do pigs have wings?". their answer is "NO".
What structure gives pigs have an excellent sense of smell?
Pigs have very well-developed nasal turbinates. They contain olfactory receptors, as well as a pretty good sized olfactory lobe. This is how they can smell so well.
What is olfactory bulb?
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

Is it morally justifiable to confine animals just for fun?
Depends. If the animal is aware or capable of knowing of its existence as a sole creature, a self-sustaining creature, then I would believe so. Pigs, Dolphins, and Elephants are mammalians that are aware of their existence just to name a few , as this is noted by their proportionally large frontal lobes.
How many lobes the the left lung of the fetal pig have?
Pigs are mammals, and so have four-chambered hearts. Therefore, their left side has two chambers, a atrium and a ventricle, and the right side has the same. **Ignore the above answer as the person who answered apparently did not read the question. Specifically states LOBES OF THE LUNG, nothing to do with chambers of the heart.**
Process of smelling?
So, we just learned this in anatomy. You breathe in an odogen. The odogen binds with protein receptors in the olfcatory cilium. A potential travels on an axon the olfactory receptor cells synapsing in the olfactory bulb. Then the filaments of the olfactory nerve synapses with mitral cells causing impulses to flow from the olfactory bulbvia the olfactory tracts.
Use Olfactory in a sentence?
olfactory |älˈfakt(ə)rē; ōl-|adjectiveof or relating to the sense of smell : the olfactory organs.It is an adjective so it is used to describe anything that has to do with the sense of smell.ex. Reptiles have two distinct olfactory systems - the main olfactory system, and the accessory olfactory system.orAs of now, there is no theory that explains olfactory perception completely.
Do guinea pigs travel in groups?
