Olfactory Thread

The olfactory filum or Phyllum Oliphacorum is one of the five cranial nerves responsible for the sense of smell and other functions in the human brain. One of the main processes provided by the olfactory filament is the recognition of odors. Also, thanks to this nerve, we can distinguish between different smells and make decisions about what to eat or use when we are looking for food or materials for household needs. But besides what has been mentioned, Phyllum Olifaricum has many other important functions related to the sensitivity of the body, the body’s response to environmental changes and coordination of movements.

Fibers from the sensory receptors on the olfactory organs (in the nose) to the structures of the brain pass through an opening inside the bone. This opening is called the pterygopalatine foramen and is the first articulator of the cranial bones. The nerve impulse is converted into a nerve odor signal, passing through brain structures to detect important information related to food and odors. When we smell a smell, our reaction to it is to make a decision to consume that food. So, the olfactory nerve is an anatomical feature of the brain responsible for responding to odors. And it is very important to remember that our ability to recognize odors can be impaired as a result of diseases, traumatic injuries to the skull or other pathological conditions that can affect the condition of the olfactory nerve. Therefore, if you are having trouble recognizing odors or experiencing headaches, dizziness, loss of balance, nausea and even dizziness, then you should see a doctor to diagnose and treat these possible problems.
