Activation of receptors
1 Binding an odorant to it's receptor activates G Protein
Then detaches from receptor
2 The activated G Proteintriggers the enzyme adenylate
cyclase to convert ATP into cyclic AMP CAMP
3 CAMP opens ion channels that allow sodium Calciumions
to enter the cell

Pathways i
1 The axons of olfactoryneurons carry olfactory stimuli to
the olfactory blubin the CNS
