嗅觉是动物的一个重要感官功能,而一项最新研究显示,细菌这种单细胞生物也有类似的“嗅觉”,它可以感知空气中的气味,并由此对周边环境做出判断。
Research has shown that bacteria - among the simplest life forms on Earth - have a sense of smell.
还有其他科研报告,说已筛选出一些小狗,能够通过嗅觉来诊断色素瘤细胞的存在,而那些有关鱼类能预测地震的报道,就更不用说了。

在哺乳动物身上,位于鼻部的神经细胞运用特殊的气味感受器探测气味,并将信息传输给嗅球——嗅觉的整合中枢。
In mammals, neurons located in the nose detect scents using special odor receptors, and shuttle the information to the olfactory bulb, which is the integration center for smell.
多尔曼指出,例如大鼠鼻腔有一半的面积附有嗅细胞,而对于人类来说,这种嗅觉接收区就小得多,他说——“也就鼻腔的3% - 5%吧。”
For instance, Dorman notes that half of the nasal cavity of a rat is lined with olfactory-system cells. In humans, this receptive area is much smaller, he says - "only about 3 to 5 percent."
嗅觉信息从这些接收器细胞沿着神经被运输到嗅球,大脑中关于气味的信息在此处理。
From the receptor cells, information about smell travels along nerves to the olfactory bulbs, the parts of the brain where information about smell is processed.
像人类一样,狗在鼻子旁边有着特别的嗅觉接受器细胞。
Like humans, dogs have special smell receptor cells lining their noses.
气味物质作用于嗅细胞,产生神经冲动经嗅神经传导,最后到达大脑皮层的嗅中枢,形成嗅觉。
Odour material action at smell cell, generation nerve impulse is conducted via olfactory nerve, reach the smell center of pallium finally, form smell.
自1991年在动物中发现嗅觉受体基因以来,关于昆虫感受化学信息的周缘神经系统的分子和细胞机制方面的进展十分迅速。
Since the olfactory receptor genes identified in 1991, great achievements have been obtained on the molecular and cellular olfaction mechanism of insect.
