Complete each sentence by dragging the proper word to the appropriate position. intensity equilibrium modality location tonic receptors sensory adaptation Sound waves reaching the olfactory mucosa do not elicit olfactory perception due to the modality not matching the type of stimulus of the receptor. Odor molecules landing on the cheeks would fail to elicit olfaction due to a mismatch in tonic receptors of the stimulus. A human's inability to perceive smells apparent to dogs represents insufficient intensity of stimulus. The unpleasurable chemical smells of dissection rooms become nonperceptible over time due to sensory adaptation of phasic receptors.

Your sense of smell depends on a population of olfactory sensory cells found in the nasal cavity. A diagram of the human olfactory system follows. The red diamonds represent molecules of a particular odor. Olfactory bulb neurons Olfactory bulb Olfactory cells Nasal cavity Mucus Olfactory receptor Which of the following statements regarding the human olfactory system are true? Check all that apply. Olfactory receptors are mechanoreceptors. Olfactory cells make synapses directly with neurons in the olfactory bulb of the brain. Volatile food molecules from the throat can activate olfactory receptors.
