around us.
When you smell a substance, the chemicals present bind to cilia (hair like
structures) in your nasal cavity.
After wards it produces the nerve signals which are transported through
olfactory cell to the olfactory nerve fiber,then to the olfactory bulb and
finally to the brain. (Olfactory bulb carries the signals from the receptor
cells to the brain)
The brain processes the information and you can smell.

2. Tongue--As we eat, the receptor cells send impulses to the brain, the
brain processes these impulses and we get the taste of what we eat.
 3.Skin is covered with different types of receptor cells.
Receptors send impulses to the brain and the brain processes these
impulses and we feel things around us.
