The nose also plays the major part in the olfactory system.
It contains an area of specialised cells, olfactory receptor neurons responsible for the sense of smell (olfaction).
Olfactory mucosa in the upper nasal cavity, contains a type of nasal gland called olfactory glands or Bowman's glands which help in olfaction.
The nasal conchae also help in olfaction function, by directing air-flow to the olfactory region.
