What part of the brain controls smell?
FRONTAL LOBE
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.
What part of the brain controls the sense of smell?
The sense of smell is controlled by the olfactory nerves.
In which lobe of the brain is the olfactory cortex?
The olfactory cortex is the part of the brain involved in processing the sense of smell. It is located in the medial temporal lobes of the brain which are the bottom section of the brain.
What special senses is relayed directly to the cerebral cortex without going to the thalamus?
Its smell Information goes to olfactory cortex of the frontal lobe without going through the thalamus. Its the only major sense that does not go through the thalamus
What part of the brain controls smell?
FRONTAL LOBE
How can an infection that spreads from the frontal or maxillary sinus impair the sense of smell?
If there were to be an infection in this area, it is possible that you would not receive chemical input from the environment. And for the second portion of your homework... Olfactory cells, olfactory nerve, and olfactory bulb :)
What cranial nerve conducts impulses from nasal mucosa to frontal lobe of brain?
Olfactory

What part of the brain controls the sense of smell?
The sense of smell is controlled by the olfactory nerves.
Nerve fibers of the olfactory tracts lead to?
The olfactory tract is split into medial and lateral. Their projections are to 5 different areas of the brain- anterior olfactory nucleus, olfactory tubercle, Piriform cortex, Amygdala, Entorhinal cortex The lateral tract originates from the olfactory epithelium separates into mitral cells and tuft cells. mitral cells synapses onto all 5 of the regions to ultimately synapse onto the orbitofrontal cortex via the thalamus or the frontal cortex. tufted cells on the other hand only synapse onto the anterior olfactory nucleus and the olfactory tubercle The medial or vomeronasal tract projects to mitral cells that synapse only to the Amygdala
Where is the olfaction located on your brain?
Your olfactory bulb is the part of your brain right above your nose! It rests under your frontal lobe.
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.
In which lobe of the brain is the olfactory cortex?
The olfactory cortex is the part of the brain involved in processing the sense of smell. It is located in the medial temporal lobes of the brain which are the bottom section of the brain.
What is the origin of the sense of smell?
The sense of smell originates from the first cranial nerves (the olfactory nerves), which sit at the base of the brain's frontal lobes, right behind the eyes and above the nose. Inhaled airborne chemicals stimulate these nerves.
What special senses is relayed directly to the cerebral cortex without going to the thalamus?
Its smell Information goes to olfactory cortex of the frontal lobe without going through the thalamus. Its the only major sense that does not go through the thalamus
What part of the brain deals with anger fear and danger responses?
The amygdala in the temporal lobes of the brain. It receives signals from the frontal cortex, the association cortex and the olfactory system.
