What's the difference between anosmia and odor?

Anosmia


Definition:

  • (n.) Loss of the sense of smell.

Example Sentences:

  • (15) All males continued to display typical cycles of copulation with their partners after the anosmia procedures, with the shortest latencies to ejaculation occurring during the periovulatory phase of the partner's ovulatory cycle.
  • (16) Noradrenaline depletion of the olfactory bulbs induces cannibalism at parturition in primiparous mice, without producing anosmia or impairment of maternal behaviour.
  • (17) It may be a truly isolated disorder but can also be the predominant element of a more diffuse neuropathy provoking, more particularly, ageusia and anosmia.
  • (18) Findings included anosmia, hyposmia, mirror movements, ocular motor abnormalities, cerebellar dysfunction, and pes cavus foot deformity.
  • (19) After testing olfactory function by means of a simple odor identification test, anosmia was confirmed in only one patient, since the other two patients were able to distinguish between several odorants.
  • (20) A conditioned smell aversion procedure was used to assess the occurence and duration of anosmia after the topical application of zinc sulfate to the olfactory mucosa.

Odor


Definition:

  • (n.) Any smell, whether fragrant or offensive; scent; perfume.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) Experiment 3 showed that the color-induced increase in odor intensity is not due to subjects' preexperimental experience with particular color-odor combinations, because the increase occurred with novel ones.
  • (2) Because of the wide range of human nasal anatomic configurations, some people sniff odorants against comparatively high resistances.
  • (3) Superior memory for the word list was found when the odor present during the relearning session was the same one that had been present at the time of initial learning, thereby demonstrating context-dependent memory.
  • (4) Foraging honeybees (Apis mellifera) were trained with 2 successively presented targets differing in color or odor, one of which always contained a 5-microliters drop of 50% sucrose solution and the other, a 5-microliters drop of 20% sucrose solution.
  • (5) A programmable controller manages the olfactometer dilution stage selection, the odor stimulus switch and starts the peripheral devices required by the experiment.
  • (6) For the roof, different odorants produced different activity patterns, which had profiles not simply described as regions of maximal and minimal responsiveness.
  • (7) Hamsters with TNx retained their ability to detect odors, but demonstrated reduced attraction to vaginal odors as compared with unoperated animals.
  • (8) Chemosensory cilia of olfactory receptor neurons contain an adenylate cyclase which is stimulated by high concentrations of odorants.
  • (9) Distal stimuli emanating from the female or pups induce proximity by provoking orientation, attention and arousal; the meaning of these stimuli is largely learned by conditioned associations during the initial executions of the behavior, although odors may have a prepotent influence for some individuals.
  • (10) The cyclic adenosine nucleotide pathway is turned off by kinase A activity, whereas the inositol trisphosphate cascade is terminated by kinase C. The data support the concept that desensitization of odorant responses involves phosphorylation of key elements in the transduction cascade.
