how do we detect the smell of agarbatti
Answers
When the smell of the incense stick reaches our nose, then the olfactory receptors present in our nose detect it send this information to the fore brain in the form of electrical signals. Fore brain interprets this information as the smell of incense stick where it is already stored.
Explanation:
When agarbatti burns, it produces pleasant smell, which is detected by the olfactory receptor present inside the nose. The action of smell generates the electrical impulse. These impulses are carried to the sensory area of brain(forebrain-cerebrum). Thus we detect the smell of agarbatti.
All information from our environment is detected by the specialised tips of some nerve cells. These receptors are usually located in our sense organs, such as the inner ear, the nose, the tongue, and so on. So gustatory receptors will detect taste while olfactory receptors will detect smell.
