The name of the receptor which detect smell is called olfactory receptor, which is located in our nose.


The above experiment was done by Pavlov.

In the experiment immediately after ringing a bell food was served to dog and allowed to eat
it. This continued for some days. After that test was conducted in which all the things were same but after ringing of bell no meat power was served to dog. But surprisingly dog still salivated . It salivated to the sound of bell, expecting the presentation of meat powder.
