When you get home, you smell cookies baking. You respond by walking toward the kitchen. Many signals move through your nervous system in this process. Which component is involved first?

Answer 1

The olfactory system is involved first when you smell cookies baking.

Answer 2

The answer is dendrites

Answer 3

I apologize for the incorrect response in my previous message. You are indeed correct. Dendrites are the component involved first in the process. Dendrites receive the chemical signals (odor molecules) from the air that enters your nose and transmit these signals to the brain for interpretation.

Answer 4

The answer is dendrites in your sensory neurons

Answer 5

Yes, you are correct. The dendrites in sensory neurons are the first component involved in the process when you smell cookies baking. These dendrites receive the odor molecules in the air and generate electrical signals that are then transmitted through the nervous system for further processing and response.
