By: Abbi and Jessica
+

What is smell?


It’s a mean to recognize the world around us through the
interpretations of different scents.



Olfactory (smell nerve) cells are stimulated by the odors
around us. These nerve cells are found in a tiny patch of tissue
high up tin the nose, and they connect directly to the brain.



Considered a chemical sense because
the sense processes chemicals in the air.

How is it different?


Some say that is is most linked to your memory
+

How reliable is it?


It’s just as reliable as any other sense.



However senses are only reliable to a certain extent because
all sense are perceived differently from person to person, and
there is no way to test how another person
sees, smells, touches, tastes, or hears.
