Question #1
The Process of Transduction for Smell
Which of these is the correct process of steps?
A. Protein Change, Binding, Olfactory Cortex, Sent to the Brain
B. Sent to the Brain, Olfactory Cortex, Protein Change, Binding
C. Binding, Protein Change, Sent to the Brain, Olfactory Cortex
D. Binding, Protein Change, Olfactory Cortex, Sent to the Brain
Step 4: Olfactory Cortex
From where the olfactory bulb processes the smells they then go on to the Olfactory Cortex to be perceived.
Step 3: Sending to the Brain
This electrical response is then sent to the olfactory bulb in the brain. This is where smells are processed. We have about 1000 different receptor proteins that are then processed by the olfactory bulb.
Step 2: Protein Change
Once the odor binds to the receptor proteins the protein changes shape so that it will trigger a electrical response in the neuron.

Step 1: Binding
When odor molecules reach the olfactory mucosa (small area in the top of your nasal cavity) they bind to receptor proteins on the olfactory neurons.
