About this document
Olfactory Chemoreceptors and Pathways by Puipui Lee is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The document summarizes the process of smell and taste. It describes how olfactory receptors in the nasal cavity detect odor molecules and send signals through the olfactory bulb and tract to the olfactory cortex. It also explains that the detection of particular smells is encoded by distinct combinations of sensory cells firing. Norepinephrine and acetylcholine can enhance responses to odors from the sympathetic and parasympathetic nerves respectively.
