These cells transmit messages to the brain, where specific smells or tastes are identified. 1  Olfactory (smell nerve) cells are stimulated by the odors around usthe fragrance from a rose, the smell of bread baking. 2  Gustatory (taste nerve) cells are clustered in the taste buds of the mouth and throat.
The human sense of smell. Although the human sense of smell is feeble compared to that of many animals, it is still very acute. We can recognise thousands of different smells, and we are able to detect odours even in infinitesimal quantities. Our smelling function is carried out by two small odour-detecting patches â made up of about five or six million yellowish cells â high up in the nasal passages. For comparison, a rabbit has 100 million of these olfactory receptors, and a dog 220 million. Humans are nonetheless capable of detecting certain substances in dilutions of less than one part in several billion parts of air.
