Thanks for the reply.  But in a way you also made my point for me,
sinuses are NOT dedicated to smell, they have other functions also.  And
that is why I thought if indeed the depicted area was a sinus cavity then
saying it is dedicated to one function is wrong.  Misleading at best.
 
Actually comments privately from BIG got me looking at the brain issue
and dedicated brain parts.
 
As for the medline, yes I will be contacting you about that.  Later.
Lol.  I am 2 days from moving and I do not need another distraction now.
 
Blessings,
Maggie
