Question

Explain why a person who has runny nose is unable to detect smells clearly.

Answer 1

This is because the nasal mucus is blocking the nasal passage, meaning that if there is anything that he/she is trying to smell will be blocked by the mucus and will not be able to go down into the nasal passage where the smells are detected.

Answer 2

If you have a runny nose then the mucus will block the path that smell goes through. So if you are trying to smell a flower then you will have a hard time because the mucus is in the way, or blocking the entrance path. Hope this helps:)
