Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Odorant molecules bind to receptors located on the olfactory cilia, hair-like structures located on the olfactory receptor neurons in the nasal cavity. This binding triggers a signal that is transmitted to the olfactory bulb through the olfactory cell axon. The olfactory bulb then processes this signal, leading to the perception of a particular odor.
