The olfactory hairs, or cilia, protrude from the dendritic ends of the olfactory neurons. These cilia extend into the mucus layer of the nasal cavity, where they interact with odorant molecules. This interaction triggers a signal transduction pathway that ultimately leads to the perception of smell.
Olfactory lobes are a part of the brain responsible for processing information related to smell. They receive sensory input from olfactory sensory neurons in the nose and help interpret and make sense of different odors.
The olfactory epithelium, located in the upper part of the nasal cavity, is responsible for receiving the stimulus for smell. It contains specialized sensory neurons that detect odor molecules in the air.
The olfactory membranes are located in the upper part of the nasal cavity and contain olfactory receptors responsible for detecting odor molecules. These receptors send signals to the brain, allowing us to perceive different smells.
The receiving part of a brain cell is called the dendritic tree. Dendrites are small branching structures that protrude from the cell body of a neuron. They receive electrical signals and chemical messages from other neurons and transmit them to the cell body.
The olfactory is the "sense of smell through your nose. The cerebrum part of the brain, more specifically, the temporal lobe, is where the olfactory/sense of smell is. That is also the part of that controls hearing.

Olfactory lobes are a part of the brain responsible for processing information related to smell. They receive sensory input from olfactory sensory neurons in the nose and help interpret and make sense of different odors.
Olfactory receptors are located in the nasal cavity, specifically in the olfactory epithelium. This specialized tissue lines the upper part of the nasal cavity and contains millions of olfactory receptor cells that are responsible for detecting smells.

Neurons are classified by the direction they move.

Meningocele is a form of Spina Bifida in which the meninges protrude from the back. Myelomeningocele is when the meninges and part of the spine protrude from the back.
They are specialised neurons in direct communication with the olfactory lobe in the brain. They differ from other neurons in having exposed receptor sites in the nasal mucosa that bind to various odoriferous chemicals. When a specific chemical binds to its appropriate receptor site, the neuron foires, releasing the chemical which may well trigger a lot more neurons. This way the brain can distinguish what smells are important. The system is poorly developed in man, but the dog has 100,000 times more receptors than we have. That's why drug sniffing dogs can find your stash so easily... Partial answer: they are found in the nose, they serve to smell and identify smells, and they play a significant role in the taste of food.
The receiving part of a brain cell is called the dendritic tree. Dendrites are small branching structures that protrude from the cell body of a neuron. They receive electrical signals and chemical messages from other neurons and transmit them to the cell body.
The olfactory bulb is the part of the brain responsible for processing and interpreting smell. It is located in the forebrain, near the front of the brain. Signals from the olfactory bulb are then sent to other parts of the brain for further processing and interpretation of scents.
The olfactory is the "sense of smell through your nose. The cerebrum part of the brain, more specifically, the temporal lobe, is where the olfactory/sense of smell is. That is also the part of that controls hearing.
Epileptic seizures originating in the olfactory part of the brain can create unusual or unexplained smells.
