But the sense exists in all, even in the Protozoa. Fig. 371 exhibits the tongue of the common fly, which is doubtless the seat of this sense. SENSE OF SMELL. DEFINITIONS AND DESCRIPTIONS. 762. Anatomy of the Nose—The Nose which contains the organs of smelling, is a triangular pyramid placed upon the face, its apex connected with the forehead, and its base descending nearly to a level with the upper lip. It is prin- cipally made up of bone cartilage and integuments, having a thin plate of bone (the vo- mer) and cartilage in the middle which run in a verti- cal direction, and divide the cavity into two portions called the nostrils.
