Which nervous system structures allow you to be aware and understand smell?
the olfactory receptors.
What kind of receptors are the olfactory receptors?
Olfactory receptors are specialized sensory receptors responsible for detecting odor molecules in the air. They are located in the olfactory epithelium of the nasal cavity and are involved in the sense of smell.

What are receptors and how do they function as nerve endings for the sense of smell?
Receptors are specialized proteins that detect and respond to specific stimuli in the environment. In the sense of smell, receptors in the nose called olfactory receptors detect odor molecules in the air. When an odor molecule binds to a receptor, it triggers a signal that is sent to the brain, allowing us to perceive and identify different smells.
What are the sensory receptors for smell referred to as?
The sensory receptors for smell are referred to as olfactory receptors.
Cats have no sense of smell?
