CN I:

Name

Function

Origin

Path & Terminal

Notes

A

Name: Olfactory Nerve

Function: Special sense of smell

Origin: Frontal Lobe

Path & Terminal: leads to the Ethmoid and expands into Olfactory bulbs

Notes: Olfactory bulbs give off multiple nerve endings that pierce through the Cribiform plate.

  • In the Nasal cavity the Olfactory nerve endings possess cilia that are covered in mucous
  • Those cilia are stimulated by the scent of molecules dissolved in the mucous that then is transmitted to the brain
