- 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.
What else can I help you with?
Olfactory nerve filaments are found?
in the olfactory bulb
Where do axons from the olfactory nerve project to?
Axons from the olfactory nerve project to the olfactory bulb in the brain. The olfactory bulb processes and relays information about smells to other areas of the brain, such as the olfactory cortex, where scent perception occurs.
Impulses that stimulate the olfactory receptors are transmitted along the?
Olfactory nerve to the brain's olfactory bulb, where they are processed and interpreted as specific smells. The olfactory nerve is responsible for carrying information about odors from the nose to the brain.
Where does the olfactory nerve end?
The olfactory nerve, responsible for the sense of smell, ends in the olfactory bulb located in the brain, specifically in the olfactory cortex. This is where the nerve impulses triggered by odors are processed and interpreted.
What part of the brain controls smell?
FRONTAL LOBE
Function of olfactory tract?
The olfactory tract is a bundle of axons connecting the mitral and tufted cells of the olfactory bulb to several target regions in the brain.
Do olfactory receptors synapse with mitral cells in the olfactory bulb?
Yes, olfactory receptors synapse with mitral cells in the olfactory bulb. When odor molecules bind to olfactory receptors in the nasal epithelium, they activate sensory neurons that send signals to the olfactory bulb. In the olfactory bulb, these sensory neurons synapse with mitral cells, which then relay the olfactory information to higher brain regions for processing. This synaptic connection is crucial for the perception of smell.

Where do axons from the olfactory nerve project to?
Axons from the olfactory nerve project to the olfactory bulb in the brain. The olfactory bulb processes and relays information about smells to other areas of the brain, such as the olfactory cortex, where scent perception occurs.
What is the bony structure between the olfactory epithelium and the olfactory bulb?
Cribriform plate
Impulses that stimulate the olfactory receptors are transmitted along the?
Olfactory nerve to the brain's olfactory bulb, where they are processed and interpreted as specific smells. The olfactory nerve is responsible for carrying information about odors from the nose to the brain.
What are the main functions of a nose?
the nosetrills,nasal cavity,mucus membrame,cilia,olfactory nerves and olfactory bulb.
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
Where is the olefactory bulb located?
The olfactory bulb (for the sense of smell) is located in the limbic system of the brain.
Where does the olfactory nerve end?
The olfactory nerve, responsible for the sense of smell, ends in the olfactory bulb located in the brain, specifically in the olfactory cortex. This is where the nerve impulses triggered by odors are processed and interpreted.
Does the olfactory bulb sense temperature and pressure?
NO it has to do with the sense of smell
Which section of the brain contains the olfactory bulb?
The olfactory bulb is located in the forebrain, specifically in the rostral (front) part of the brain. It is part of the limbic system, which is involved in emotions, behavior, and memory.
