The sense of smell is often lost with disorders that prevent air from reaching the part of the nose where smell receptors are located (the cribriform plate, located high in the nose).
A menudo se pierde el sentido del olfato con trastornos que impiden que el aire llegue hasta el área de la nariz donde se localizan los receptores olfativos (la placa cribriforme ubicada en la parte superior de la nariz).
