Olfactory Sensation
Dr. Sara Sadiq
(MBBS, M.Phil)
Smell Sensation
100 Primary smell sensation
1. Camphoraceous
2. Musky
3. Floral
4. Pepperminty
5. Ethereal
6. Pungent
7. Putrid
Threshold for Smell
• The minute quantity of stimulating agent in the air can elicit a smell
sensation.
• Methylmercaptan can be smelled when only one 25 trillionth of a
gram is present in each milliliter of air.
• Because of this very low threshold  Mixed with natural gas
Olfactory Bulb
• Grey matter on cribriform plate which receives neurons
• Point to point representation of olfactory mucosa on bulb
• Cells – 3 types
1. Mitral cells
2. Tufted cells
3. Granule cells (Interneurons  Inhibitory)
• Axons of olfactory neurons terminate on dendrites of mitral cells &
tufted cells to form  olfactory Glomeruli
• Axons of mitral & tufted cells leave olfactory bulb & run in olfactory
tract
Role of Pain Fibers in the Nose
• Many trigeminal pain fibers are
found in olfactory membrane
• They are stimulated by
irritating substances
• Are responsible for initiating
sneezing, lacrimation and
other reflex responses.
Clinical Abnormalities
• Anosmia  Absence of sense of smell
• Hyposmia  Diminished olfactory sensitivity
• Hyperosmia  Increased olfactory sensitivity
Thank You
