Olfactory Bulb: Does it Detect Temperature & Pressure?

The olfactory bulb does not sense temperature and pressure. It is part of the olfactory system, which is responsible for our sense of smell. Different cell types detect odor molecules in the olfactory epithelium. These signals then travel through the olfactory bulb to the brain. The olfactory bulb does not have any temperature or pressure receptors, so it cannot directly sense these sensations.
