Question

The type of neurons found in the olfactory bulb that process sensory input for smell are the;

a. gustatory cells
b. Eustachian cells
c. ganglion cells
d. mitral cells

Answer 1

Answer: Option D. Mitral cells.

Explanation: The Mitral cells are neurons which are part of the olfactory systems located inside the olfactory bulbs of the central nervous system in mammals. They receive input information from axons of the olfactory receptor neurons and form synapses called glomeruli.

Answer 2

d. mitral cells

Step-by-step explanation:

The olfactory bulb receives sensations of smell.

Its source of sensory input (axons from olfactory receptor neurons of the olfactory epithelium), and one output (MITRAL cell axons).

It acts as a filter with functions such as distinguishing among odors, boosting sensitivity of odor detection, works with higher brain areas to promote the arousal to modify the detection or the discrimination of odors
