In order for you to enjoy the smell of a flower, molecules called <u>Odorants </u>from the flower must land on your olfactory epithelium, which lines the inside of the nose.

  • When a person breathes in air containing odor molecules, the molecules attach to receptors in the nose and send signals to the brain.
  • Odorants interact with primary epithelium olfactory receptors. Olfactory receptors, a type of epithelial cell with cilia, are found in the olfactory epithelium. These receptors receive the sense of smell, which is then sent to the brain.
  • The sensory neuron connected to the receptor is activated when an odorant connects with a receptor that detects it.
  • Only olfactory stimulus directly communicates with the cerebral cortex; all other sensory information is sent through the thalamus.
  • Additionally, it has been suggested that the nasal mucus plays a role in the process of emulsifying hydrophobic odorant molecules, delivering them to receptor sites.
