Each cell is connected to an olfactory neuron, or nerve cell. The cilia trap the inhaled odour molecules. The information on the molecules is transmitted to the olfactory neurons, then relayed via the nervous system to the brain, where the smell is processed and experienced. How does the olfactory nerveRead More →
