AP PSYCHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -The olfactory nerve terminates at the olfactory bulb, located just above the ethmoid bone and below the frontal lobe. The olfactory bulb acts as a relay center for the transmission of the impulses from the olfactory nerve to the olfactory tract and then to the cerebral cortex (olfactory cortex).

Detailed explanation-2: -Your olfactory nerve is the first cranial nerve (CN I). This nerve enables your olfactory system and sense of smell. Many conditions can affect cranial nerve 1, including COVID-19, diabetes and Alzheimer’s.

Detailed explanation-3: -The olfactory epithelium is a specialized epithelial tissue inside the nasal cavity that is involved in smell.

Detailed explanation-4: -Your sense of smell-like your sense of taste-is part of your chemosensory system, or the chemical senses. Your ability to smell comes from specialized sensory cells, called olfactory sensory neurons, which are found in a small patch of tissue high inside the nose. These cells connect directly to the brain.
