Title: Sense of Smell
Presenter: Dr. Faiza, Assistant Professor of Physiology
Qualifications:
MBBS (Best Graduate, AIMC Lahore)
FCPS Physiology
ICMT, CHPE, DHPE (STMU)
MPH (GC University, Faisalabad)
MBA (Virtual University of Pakistan)
Learning Objectives:
Describe the primary categories of smells and the concept of odor blindness.
Explain the structure and location of the olfactory membrane and mucosa, including the types and roles of cells involved in olfaction.
Describe the pathway and mechanisms of olfactory signal transmission from the olfactory receptors to the brain.
Illustrate the biochemical cascade triggered by odorant binding to olfactory receptors, including the role of G-proteins and second messengers in generating an action potential.
Identify different types of olfactory disorders such as anosmia, hyposmia, hyperosmia, and dysosmia, including their potential causes.
Key Topics:
Olfactory Genes:
3% of the human genome accounts for olfactory genes.
400 genes for odorant receptors.
Olfactory Membrane:
Located in the superior part of the nasal cavity.
Medially: Folds downward along the superior septum.
Laterally: Folds over the superior turbinate and upper surface of the middle turbinate.
Total surface area: 5-10 square centimeters.
Olfactory Mucosa:
Olfactory Cells: Bipolar nerve cells derived from the CNS (100 million), with 4-25 olfactory cilia per cell.
Sustentacular Cells: Produce mucus and maintain ionic and molecular environment.
Basal Cells: Replace worn-out olfactory cells with an average lifespan of 1-2 months.
Bowman’s Gland: Secretes mucus.
Stimulation of Olfactory Cells:
Odorant dissolves in mucus and attaches to receptors on olfactory cilia.
Involves a cascade effect through G-proteins and second messengers, leading to depolarization and action potential generation in the olfactory nerve.
Quality of a Good Odorant:
Small (3-20 Carbon atoms), volatile, water-soluble, and lipid-soluble.
Facilitated by odorant-binding proteins in mucus.
Membrane Potential and Action Potential:
Resting membrane potential: -55mV.
Action potential frequency in the olfactory nerve increases with odorant strength.
Adaptation Towards the Sense of Smell:
Rapid adaptation within the first second, with further slow adaptation.
Psychological adaptation greater than receptor adaptation, involving feedback inhibition from the central nervous system.
Primary Sensations of Smell:
Camphoraceous, Musky, Floral, Pepperminty, Ethereal, Pungent, Putrid.
Odor Detection Threshold:
Examples: Hydrogen sulfide (0.0005 ppm), Methyl-mercaptan (0.002 ppm).
Some toxic substances are odorless at lethal concentrations.
Characteristics of Smell:
Odor blindness for single substances due to lack of appropriate receptor protein.
Behavioral and emotional influences of smell.
Transmission of Olfactory Signals:
From olfactory cells to glomeruli in the olfactory bulb, involving lateral inhibition.
Primitive, less old, and new olfactory systems with different path

The prostate is an exocrine gland of the male mammalian reproductive system
It is a walnut-sized gland that forms part of the male reproductive system and is located in front of the rectum and just below the urinary bladder
Function is to store and secrete a clear, slightly alkaline fluid that constitutes 10-30% of the volume of the seminal fluid that along with the spermatozoa, constitutes semen
A healthy human prostate measures (4cm-vertical, by 3cm-horizontal, 2cm ant-post ).
It surrounds the urethra just below the urinary bladder. It has anterior, median, posterior and two lateral lobes
It’s work is regulated by androgens which are responsible for male sex characteristics
Generalised disease of the prostate due to hormonal derangement which leads to non malignant enlargement of the gland (increase in the number of epithelial cells and stromal tissue)to cause compression of the urethra leading to symptoms (LUTS

not necessarily, temporary effects arising
from a single bout of exercise
Chronic effects: long-term changes over
time due to regular exercise
Associations are maintained regardless of the
intensity and/or duration of exercise
Weight training, yoga, moderate walking
13. How does it work?
Combination of physiological & psychological
mechanisms, including…
Physiological explanations
Increases in cerebral blood flow
Changes in neurotransmitters
Increases in maximal oxygen consumption and
delivery of oxygen to cerebral tissues
Reductions in muscle tension
Structural changes in the brain
14. How does it work?
Psychological explanations
Enhanced feeling of control
Feeling of competency & self-efficacy
Positive social interactions
Improved self-concept & self-esteem
Opportunities for fun & enjoyment
Many other theories/hypotheses, none of
which is most widely accepted

sleepiness, and improvements in vitality
17. Exercise & Cognitive
Functioning
Rapidly growing area of research
Recent surge in research in the relationship
between exercise & dementia/Alzheimer’s
disease risk
Perhaps the most critical modifiable risk factor

Early involvement in sport → ↑ adult activity
Past behavior is the best predictor of behavior!
22. Determinants of Adherence
Environmental factors
Social environment
Spousal support especially critical
Physical environment
Convenience, built environment
Physical activity characteristics
Exercise intensity and duration
Moderate is best
Group vs. individual programs
Groups generally better for adherence, but individual diff.
Leader qualities

37. Lapse vs. Relapse
“Slipping” or “lapsing” from your exercise routine is
different from “relapsing” from your exercise habit.
A lapse is a temporary slip to previous behavior – usually a one-
time occurrence.
A relapse is a full-blown return to previous patterns.
When a lapse occurs, don’t get discouraged! Get back
on track before it becomes a pattern.
A lapse is an opportunity to learn, and it should not be
viewed as a failure.
Think about what got in the way of your regular exercise
schedule and what you can do to prevent it from
happening again in the future.
44. Summary
Exercise is beneficial for everyone!
Everyone can do some form of exercise
Generally not helpful to force exercise upon
someone
Help them find their own personal motivations
for exercise
Help them create tools and learn skills that
will keep them on track
