Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The increase in mucus reduces the amount of material that comes into contact with the epithelium thus reducing the sense of smell. Does adaptation to one smell influence the adaptation to another smell? some smells that we perceive as two separate smells are actually identical.
Detailed explanation-2: -Adaptation in olfaction has been shown to be very long-lasting in some cases and may be modulated by the contribution of pre-neural events and physico-chemical properties of the odorant molecules that govern diffusion to receptor sites and post-receptor clearance.
