Olfaction or olfactory perception is the sense of smell
olfactory bulb is a structure of the vertebrate forebrain involved in olfaction, the perception of odors
Olfactory receptors expressed in the cell membranes of olfactory receptor neurons are responsible for the detection of odor molecules
Olfactory receptors are used to detect the presence of smell
Glomerulus is a structure that transmits signals to the olfactory bulb (a brain structure located directly above the nasal cavity and below the frontal lobe)
Volatile Chemicals (VOCs) are organic chemicals that have a high vapor pressure at ordinary, room-temperature conditions
Chemorecption is a sensory receptor that transduces a chemical signal into an action potential. In more general terms, a chemosensor detects certain chemical stimuli in the environment.
Mitral cells are neurons that are part of the olfactory system. They are located in the olfactory bulb in the mammalian central nervous system. They receive information from the axons of olfactory receptor neurons, forming synapses in neuropils called glomeruli
Epithelium is one of the four basic types of animal tissue, along with connective tissue, muscle tissue and nervous tissue
Lingand (odor molecule or odorant)
Superior nasal concha The back part of the medial surface of the labyrinth of ethmoid is subdivided by a narrow oblique fissure, the superior meatus of the nose, bounded above by a thin, curved plate
Vomeronasal Organ (VNO) sense organ involved in the flehmen response in mammals.
Flehmen Respones particular type of curling of the upper lip in which facilitates the transfer of pheromones and other scents into the vomeronasal organ
