Question
Chapter 12, Problem 3AWK
Summary Introduction
To review:
The reason for not sensing a good or bad odor after a long-term exposure to it.
Introduction:
It is observed that the sense of our smell is linked to our feelings and emotions. The bad and good odors evoke negative and positive feelings, respectively. For example, the smell of a pet in the house can be unpleasant to an outsider, while would be neutral to the house owner. With time, the outsider may not feel the pet’s odor as foul.

Check out a sample textbook solutionStudents have asked these similar questions
Scent-free zones are important recommendations because some people are very
sensitive to odorants. What is one reason that someone might be over-sensitive to
odorants?
higher threshold to activate the Golf cascade
greater hyperpolarized resting potential in olfactory neurons
reduced sensitivity of the Golf response
lower threshold to activate the Golf cascade
My question is The axons of all the odor receptor neurons which express the same type of odorant receptor terminate within specialized structures within the olfactory bulb called __________________, which then make synaptic connections with ____________________ cells that transmit odor information to the olfactory centers in the brain.

As a person ages, his or her sensitivity to taste perception diminishes, making it more difficult to distinguish flavors. Children under the age of 1 cannot perceive taste differences. Taste receptors can only be found in the cheeks of the mouth. The olfactory bulb is responsible for sending messages about taste from the mouth to the brain. There are four primary tastes: salty, spicy, sour, sweet. woman was injected with radioactive glucose and asked to look at pictures of her family members while having a brain scan performed.
