Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The chemoreceptors inside the nose are found amongst the columnar epithelia lining the nasal passages. These receptors are responsible for detecting smell or odors. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because the first cranial nerve carries information from the nose to the brain, nose hairs simply help filter out larger particles, and the olfactory bulb is where the sensory information from the nose is processed.
