The olfactory hair (pilus olfactorious, inch) is one of the parts of the human nose. It is responsible for the perception of odors and is an important part of our process of detecting and identifying odors. The olfactory fibrous sheet is covered with special olfactory receptors that respond to certain chemicals present in the air. It is this type of fiber that also processes and sends signals from the olfactory receptors to the brain, allowing us to recognize different odors.
Olfactory hairs are found in the upper part of the nasal cavity, where they cover the upper side of the turbinates. An adult human has approximately 200 such hairs on each shell. The more olfactory hairs there are, the easier it will be to perceive odors. In general, the more olfactory hair cells a person has, the better they can identify and recognize the odors around them.
The same smell can have different meanings for different people. Each person's olfactory hair perceives odors differently because the cells in them are sensitive to different molecular structures of the smell. Research has shown that the intensity and variety of people's sense of smell varies depending on their nationality, age, gender, as well as their environment.
There are alternative ways to smell. For example, you can use the olfactory organ using dilators and round adapters. There is also research evidence that some people cannot feel
