Human olfactory system. Cutaway computer artwork of a person's head,with an enlargement (upper right) showing the olfactory receptor cells (red),and their location in the olfactory bulb of the forebrain (upper centre). These receptors are responsible for the sense of smell. The olfactory bulb contains many olfactory receptor cells that project through a layer of bone (beige) into the epithelial lining of the nasal cavity. They pick up smell information from molecules inhaled through the nose,and the olfactory bulb is responsible for transmitting these signals to the brain | |
