receptor węchowy

Odor sensation depends on the concentration (number of molecules) available to the olfactory receptors.

In fact, they have molecules that are much the same as olfactory receptors in our noses.

Basal stem cells create new olfactory receptors through cell division.

In the next section, we'll learn more about olfactory receptors and odorant patterns.

Further research on human olfaction systems identified 347 olfactory receptors.

Humans have about 40 million olfactory receptors that detect up to 10,000 different odors.

In mammals, olfactory receptors have been shown to signal via G protein.

Then, in 1991, the first olfactory receptors were described.

Two major classes of olfactory receptors have been identified in humans:

The released pheromones are received by olfactory receptors on the antennae.
