Question

Where can the odor molecules located in the nasal cavity?

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

Olfactory receptor, also called smell receptor, protein capable of binding odour molecules that plays a central role in the sense of smell (olfaction).The cilia are covered by the mucus of the nasal cavity, facilitating the detection of and response to odour molecules by olfactory receptors.Inside the nasal cavity, mucus lining the walls of the cavity dissolves odor molecules. Mucus also covers the olfactory epithelium, which contains mucous membranes that produce and store mucus and olfactory glands that secrete metabolic enzymes found in the mucus.
