What is sensorys receptor for smell?
the receptor cells in the olfactory membrane.....
Before an olfactory receptor can detect an odorant it has to?
bind to receptors in olfactory cilia.
A fracture of the ethmoid bone could result in damage to which cranial nerve?
Olfactory nerve. Olfactory nerve fibers arise from olfactory receptor cells located in olfactory epithelium of nasal cavity and pass through cribriform plate of ethmoid bone to synapse in olfactory bulb.
What is the receptor of the human nose?
The sensory receptors for your nose is the semicircular canals and the cochlea
Does Testosterone acts as a signal receptor that activates ion channels proteins?
If we are to based it in the function of a testosterone inside a cell, it does not act as a signal receptor. Testosterone function is to bind a receptor protein that go into the nucleus and to activate a particular gene.

Before an olfactory receptor can detect an odorant it has to?
bind to receptors in olfactory cilia.
What is the receptor organ of the nose?
olfactory membrane
Where is the olfactory epithelium found?
The olfactory epithelium occupies an area of about 5 cm2 in the roof of the nasal cavity. The specialized receptor cells in the olfactory epithelium are surrounded by supporting cells, non-sensory epithelial cells. The olfactory receptor cells are bipolar neurons whose olfactory cilia extend outward from the epithelium.
What is the sensory receptors for smell?
The olfactory receptor is found in the nose.
How do receptor neurons help people perceive smells?
Receptor neurons in the nostrils first detect an odor by coming into contact with and reacting to gas molecules of the substance. Then the receptor neurons send information about the odor along the olfactory nerve to the brain.
How do people smell food?
A specialized smell receptor is situated In the roof of the nasal canal,called Olfactory mucosa. the olfactory epithelium is innervated by the olfactory(1st cranial)nerve and some branches of the 5th nerve.Olfactory epithelium contains three kinds of cells,namely olfactory receptor cells,supporting cells and basal cells.Olfactory receptor cells are sensory hair cells,sensitive to all kind of cells.Their axons terminally join the olfactory nerve. Supporting cells are mucus-secreting columnar cells. Basal cells are the stem cells from which new receptor cells are formed.Olfaction,just like taste,is a chemical sense. The molecules of the odorous substances reach the nasal canal along with the inspired air. Here, they dissolve in the mucus secretion and then attach to the receptor cells. This stimulates the receptor cells and they generate olfactory impulses. Olfactory nerves transmit these impulses to the olfactory center in the temporal lobe of the cerebrum(known as the olfactory cortex)
What is a nose receptor cell?
An olfactory receptor cell is a specialized cell of the mucosal lining of the nose . These specialized cells serve as the receptors for smell.
Each olfactory cortical neuron receives input from one receptor at a time?
False
What special cells allow you to smell food?
Olfactory receptor cells are the receptors for smell.
A fracture of the ethmoid bone would result in damage to which cranial nerve?
Olfactory nerve. Olfactory nerve fibers arise from olfactory receptor cells located in olfactory epithelium of nasal cavity and pass through cribriform plate of ethmoid bone to synapse in olfactory bulb.
