Chemical Stimuli? Chemoreceptors: receptor proteins that bind to specific molecules‚ their ligands; responsible for taste and smell. Also monitor internal environment‚ such as CO2 levels in blood. Olfaction is the sense of smell. Olfactory sensors are embedded in epithelial tissue at top of nasal cavity (in vertebrates). Axons extend to the olfactory bulb in the brain‚ dendrites end in olfactory hairs on the nasal epithelium. FIGURE 46.3 Olfactory Receptors Communicate Directly with the Brain
