Our Amazing Human Body: ... The Smell

The senses in our body are something amazing, life without our five senses, taste, smell, sight, hearing and touching, would be really hard.

But for me the smell is something really special, because without him I couldn’t feel or experimenting sensations, or making memories with scents.

I love to walk through my house on the weekends and smell my grandmothers cake, my mom and dad perfume, smells the flowers, the freshly watered grass and a lot more of things.

The smell is the sense that detects and process the scents. It is a chemoreceptor in which act as stimulants aromatic particles that are processed by the olfactory system. The nose it is the organ of the smell and our human nose distinguishes between more than 10,000 different scents.

The nose it is located in the medium of the face between the eyes and the mouth and the average size of the long of the nose are about 51mm.

There are a lot of injuries and illnesses that affect this scent such as:

-Cold

- Deviated nasal septum

-Polyps

- Rhinitis

-Fractures

And there are so many different ways to keep it healthy just like, not inserting foreign object to the nose, see a doctor if there is any anomaly, try not to inhale dust, etc.

So to conclude the smell is really important in our life, and thanks to it, we can remember different scents and moments in our lives.
