(February 2011). The olfactory system is the sensory system used for olfaction, or the sense of smell. Most mammals and reptiles have two distinct parts to their olfactory system: a main olfactory system and an accessory olfactory system.The main olfactory system detects volatile, airborne substances, while the accessory olfactory system senses fluid-phase stimuli.itral cells send their axons to a number of brain areas, including the anterior olfactory nucleus, piriform cortex, the medial amygdala, the entorhinal cortex, and the olfactory tubercle. The piriform cortex is probably the area most closely associated with identifying the odor.
