Answer:

The olfactory nerve is the shortest nerve in the human head. It originates in the olfactory mucosa (mucous membrane) along the roof of your nasal cavity (nostril). This nerve is made of many small nerve fibers called fascicles that are bound together by thin strips of connective tissue.

The bundle extends from the nasal cavity through the ethmoid bone behind your nose. From there, the fascicles go inside a structure called the olfactory bulb. You have a bulb for each nostril, and they send the information along what's called the olfactory tract and into the brain.
