Olfaction
The sense of smell is achieved through the activities of the olfactory system. It starts when an airborne odorant enters the nasal cavity and reaches olfactory epithelium (OE).

The size of the OE and the density of sensory neurons varies among species; in humans, the OE is only about 9-10 cm2.
