How Do We Smell Things?
By Cindy Grigg |
|
1 The nose is the organ for our sense of smell. The end of your nose is made of cartilage. Cartilage is a flexible tissue that is softer than bone. It is firmer than muscle or skin. If you press on the end of your nose, you can feel it wiggle. The top part near your eyes feels hard. There is bone there to protect the parts inside your nose. You can feel the difference between the hard bone and the softer, wigglier cartilage.
