Yet man has a very considerable set of olfactive chambers within the nostrils and has large olfactory nerves.
It has been from time to time suggested that the end organs of the olfactory nerves may be excited, not by chemically active particles, but by "rays," olfactive undulations comparable to those of light.
It is probable that the world of smells in which a dog with a fine olfactive sense lives, produces little or nothing in the dog's mind which is equivalent to our conscious perception of degrees of agreeable and disagreeable odours.
The dog is simply attracted and repulsed in this direction and in that by the operation of his olfactive organs, without, so to speak, giving any attention to the sensation which is guiding him or being "aware" of it.
The sensations of smell which cheer, inform, and broaden my life are not less pleasant merely because some critic who treads the wide, bright pathway of the eye has not cultivated his olfactive sense.

Then it covers wholly the optic lobes, and encroaches on the cerebellum behind and olfactivelobes in front (Fig.
The cerebellum is a subsequent outgrowth from the medulla, as is the cerebrum and olfactive lobes from the thalamus.
In front it not only covers but has grown far beyond the olfactive lobes; behind it extends beyond and overhangs the cerebellum; on the sides it overhangs and covers all.
The above list will hopefully give you a few useful examples demonstrating the appropriate usage of "olfactive" in a variety of sentences. We hope that you will now be able to make sentences using this word.
