Where does olfactory adaptation occur?
A) olfactory receptor
B) along the olfactory pathway to the brain
C) olfactory epithelium
D) sustentacular cells

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Olfactory adaptation occurs along the olfactory pathway to the brain, specifically in the olfactory bulb and olfactory cortex. While olfactory receptors and the olfactory epithelium play roles in olfaction, they are not specifically where adaptation occurs. Sustentacular cells are support cells in the olfactory epithelium and do not play a direct role in olfactory adaptation.
