Sense of Smell

Smell:

Plays a key role in our enjoyment of life

Common to all species

Less developed in 31 than people generally think, although some primates are able to distinguish 32 odours from other types

Sense of smell in humans:

Easy to recognise common aromas like that of 33

However, the sense of smell is very subtle

Scents trigger different emotions and can be used to influence behaviour, e.g. in a club, the scent of 34 promotes positive feelings

Many scent reactions are subconscious, e.g., being attracted to someone because of their scent or being aware of someone's 35 because of their sweat

We are gradually losing our sense of smell because we obscure odours

It is potentially dangerous if we cannot detect the 36 of a smell

Other discoveries:

Important because: other senses may not be 37 or available

An important part of memory, e.g. recalling experiences from 38

Closely related to emotions, e.g. may help treat patients who are 39 or depressed

Can offer job opportunities, e.g. coffee roasters or sellers of 40
