olfaction: smell

Question 0

the connective tissue beneath the olfactory epithelium

Answer 0

lamina propria

Question 1

Comprises the 2 olfactory organs in the nasal cavity

Answer 1

olfactory epithelium

Question 2

columnar epithelial cells found in the olfactory epithelium between the olfactory receptor cells

Answer 2

supporting cells

Question 3

bipolar neurons found in the olfactory epithelium.
the dendrite is enlarged into a bulb-shaped “olfactory vesicle” on the surface of the olfactory epithelium.
the olfactory vesicle has cilia called “olfactory hairs” which project into the mucus on the surface of the epithelium.
odors cause depolarization on these hairs.

Answer 3

olfactory receptor cells

Question 4

the cells which replace lost or damaged olfactory receptor cells at the BASE of the olfactory epithelium.
they are a notable exception to the rule of thumb that neurons do not replicate

Answer 4

basal cells

Question 5

these are mucus glands found in the lamina propria that moisten olfactory epithelium and dissolve odor molecules

Answer 5

bowman’s glands
