<span>The afferent nerve fibres of the olfactory receptor neurons transmit nerve signal about odours to the CNS. From the olfactory mucosa (inside the nasal cavity), the nerve travels up through the cribriform plate of the ethmoid bone where the fascicles enter the olfactory bulb<span>. The olfactory</span> bulb is a structure which contains specialised neurones, called mitral cells and the nerve fibres synapse with those mitral cells, forming collections known as synaptic glomeruli. From the glomeruli, second order nerves then pass into the olfactory tract which runs to the CNS (</span>primary olfactory cortex).
Both chickens and pigs are omnivores so they eat scrap, grain, and most importantly for this subject vegetables and fruits. Vegetables and fruits both came from photosynthesis, so when we eat bacon and eggs we are eating pigs and chickens that ate plants and vegetables that gained energy due to photosynthesis. At least that’s what I think
Bacteria is important because this bacteria binds hydrogen molecules with the gaseous nitrogen to form ammonia in the soil. During assimilation, or when plants take up nitrates from the soil, bacteria aid in the process with the plants in making ammonia. Animal wastes is also a major place where bacteria thrives and produces ammonia. The process in which assimilation occurs in plants, and then bacteria converts the nitrates to ammonia is called ammonification. From the conversion of ammonia to nitrites, bacteria also aids in this process called nitrification. The nitrifying bacteria mostly present in soils, oxidize ammonia into nitrites, and from nitrites to nitrates.
Finally, the process of denitrification also has bacteria present to aid in converting nitrates back into a gaseous form of nitrogen in the atmosphere.
