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.

wariber [46]

Answer:

1. dopamine and serotonin

2. brain and spinal cord

3. controls the function of different processes in the body  

4. limbic system

5. Increase brain surface area  

6. release hormones into the bloodstream

7. insulation  

8. laughing has multiple positive functions in the body

Explanation:

Dopamine is a neurotransmitter (i.e., a chemical messenger) involved in responses to rewards, motivation and memory, while serotonin is another neurotransmitter that controls appetite, mood, wakefulness and sleep onset. The central nervous system (CNS) consists of the brain and spinal cord. The spinal cord acts as a conduit by which messages are sent from the brain to the body and from the body to the brain.  Moreover, the brain acts to control all body abilities (e.g., thinking, talk, feeling, walking, breathing, etc). The autonomic nervous system is known to modulate different processes (e.g., blood pressure, digestion, breath) and internal organs (e.g., heart) by acting largely unconsciously, i.e., without a person's conscious effort. The limbic system is a part of the brain that acts to control emotions and memory by modulating autonomic/endocrine functions. Convolutions, folds, and fissures can increase brain surface area, thereby more neurons are packed into the cortex of the brain and thus it is possible to process more information. The endocrine system acts to release hormones into the bloodstream. These hormones travel in the blood to their target cells/tissues, where they regulate different functions (e.g., mood, growth, development, metabolism, reproduction, etc). The myelin is an insulating layer surrounding nerve cells that enables electrical impulses to transmit efficiently around the whole body. Laughing has multiple positive functions: release endorphin hormones that decrease stress, increases the number of immune cells and antibodies, stimulate the activity of internal organs (e.g., heart), quickly relax the muscles, contribute to increase the oxygen uptake rate in blood, etc.
