“SMELL is arguably the most intimate of all the senses. When we smell an odorant molecule…(they) are small enough to reach deep into the nose cavity, diffuse through a 10–40 μm thick mucus layer, meet one of tens of thousands of cilia that project from the olfactory sensory neurons, and absorb onto one of the approximately 347 receptor types at the extracellular–intracellular interface.”
