Olfactory receptors (ORs), also known as odorant receptors, are chemoreceptors expressed in the cell membranes of olfactory receptor neurons

Olfactory receptor, protein capable of binding odour molecules that plays a central role in the sense of smell (olfaction).

An olfactory receptor neuron (ORN), also called an olfactory sensory neuron (OSN), is a sensory neuron within the olfactory system.

The olfactory receptor cells are bipolar nerve cells that extend a single dendrite to the surface of the epithelium where it enlarges to form a knob. From this ...

Olfactory receptor neurons are elongate cells that extend from the base of the epithelium to the surface. Receptor neurons stand side by side with columnar ...
