1 Sense of Smell Mrs. Geist Human Anatomy & Physiology
Bodine HS for International Affairs

2 Smell (Olfaction) Serves 2 primary functions:
Detect potentially harmful or valuable chemicals in the air Supplements taste Chemoreceptors- detect smell. Located within the olfactory bulb in superior region of nasal cavity. Anosmia- inability to smell

3 7 Primary Odors Camphoric  Mothballs Musky  Perfume/Aftershave
Floral  Roses Peppermint  mint gum Ethereal  dry cleaning fluid Pungent  Vinegar Putrid  Rotting Eggs

4 Vomeronasal Gland Located at the base of the nasal cavity.
Detects body chemicals associated with sexual behavior. Determines differences in body odor between men and women.
