Olfactory system

ID Number

Description
Sensory organs have cells equipped for detecting signals from the environment, such as odors. Receptors in the membranes of nerve cells in the nose bind to odor molecules, triggering a cascade of chemical reactions tranferred by G proteins into the cytoplasm.

Appears in the NIGMS booklet Inside the Cell.
