Smell
Across
- 2. dried nasal mucus trapping particles
- 7. bulb processes smell information by relaying signals from the nose to the brain for interpretation
- 8. two external openings of the nasal cavity
- 10. septum thin wall of cartilage in your nose separating both nostrils
- 12. membranes lining of the internal body cavities like the mouth, nose and lungs
- 13. system network of organs that takes in oxygen and expels carbon dioxide
Down
- 1. receptors proteins that detect and distinguish odor molecules, initiating the sense of smell by converting chemical signals into electrical signals
- 3. molecules they bind to specific receptors on olfactory neurons in the nose, which triggers a signal that is sent to the brain for interpretation as a smell
- 4. air-filled cavities in the skull surrounding the nose to help filter and warm air.
- 5. cavity filters, warms, and humidifies inhaled air, while also being the site for the sense of smell and immune defense
- 6. stem controls respiratory function
- 7. the process of detecting and interpreting odors
- 9. hair-like lining in the nose trapping foreign particles.
- 11. organ that intakes and filters air
