Which of the following shows the correct sequence of events in order for us to smell something?
A. receptor cells in nose; airborne molecules; olfactory bulb; frontal lobe
B. olfactory bulb; temporal lobe; receptor cells in nose; limbic system
C. olfactory bulb; frontal lobe and limbic system; receptor cells in nose; airborne molecules
D. airborne molecules; receptor cells in nose; olfactory bulb; temporal lobe and limbic system
Answer (2)
The correct sequence of events for the sense of smell starts with airborne molecules entering the nose, then activating receptor cells, sending signals to the olfactory bulb, and finally, the signals reaching the temporal lobe and limbic system. This process allows us to identify and react to different smells. Thus, the correct option illustrates this order of events. ;
The correct sequence for how we smell something is: airborne molecules enter the nose, activate receptor cells, send signals to the olfactory bulb, and finally reach the temporal lobe and limbic system. Therefore, the chosen option is D. This process helps us identify and emotionally respond to various smells.
