PSYB51H3 Lecture Notes - Lecture 12: Thalamus, Saccule, Sodium Chloride
Document Summary
You cant sense the last two and they are dangerous and thats why we have carbon monoxide detectors human olfactory apparatus: nose: small ridges (nasal cycle) creates turbinates inside the nose, sniffing intended to enhance the perception of the sense, olfactory cleft, olfactory epithelium, secondary purpose of the nose, the main purpose of the nose is to allow for breathing obviously olfactory sensory neurons, neurons that do transduction for olfactory. When the molecules bind they can interact with olfactory cilia on the olfactory neuron and cause depolarization in the olfactory sensory neuron through secondary neuron system (don"t worry about the secondary neurons system he said it wont be on the exam) soma of the neurons is sitting inside the epithelium and the olfactory sensory neuron projects through the bone labels as cribriform plate axons of the neurons will project through those little bones into the olfactory bulb.
