Abstract

Receptors found in the upper portion of the nasal cavity, and comprise specialized bipolar neurons embedded in the olfactory mucosa. Hair-like processes extend out from the mucosal surface and these respond to odor. Central processes form the Olfactory fila and enter the cranial cavity by passing through foramina in the Cribriform plate of the ethmoid bone. These primary fibers end here, by synapsing on dendrites of multipolar mitral neurons in the Olfactory Bulb, which lies in the olfactory groove on the under surface of the frontal lobe.KeywordsOlfactory BulbLimbic SystemMitral CellOlfactory TractOlfactory MucosaThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
