The human nose is an underrated tool. Humans are often thought to be
insensitive smellers compared with animals, 1 this is largely because, 2 animals
,we stand upright. This means that our noses are 3 to perceiving those smells
which float through the air, 4 the majority of smells which stick to surfaces.
In fact
5 , we are extremely sensitive to smells, 6 we do not generally realize it.
Our noses are capable of 7 human smells even when these are 8 to far below one
part in one million.
Strangely, some people find that they can smell one type of flower but not
another, 9 others are sensitive to the smells of both flowers. This may be
because some people do not have the genes necessary to generate 10 smell
receptors in the nose. These receptors are the cells which sense smells and send
11 to the brain. However, it has been found that even people insensitive to a
certain smell 12 can suddenly become sensitive to it when 13 to it often
enough.
The explanation for insensitivity to smell seems to be that brain finds
it
14 to keep all smell receptors working all the time but can 15 new
receptors if necessary. This may 16 explain why we are not usually sensitive to
our own smells we simply do not need to be. We are not 17 of the usual smell of
our own house but we 18 new smells when we visit someone else's. The brain finds
it best to keep smell receptors 19 for unfamiliar and emergency signals 20 the
smell of smoke, which might indicate the danger of fire.
