28
Q

Chemoreceptors for the sense of smell are located in the

A

olfactory epithelium

29
Q

specialized region of the mucous membrane covering the superior conchae at the roof of the nasal cavity

A

OLFACTORY EPITHELIUM

30
Q

are bipolar neurons present throughout this epithelium.

A

OLFACTORY NEURONS

31
Q

nuclei form an irregular row near the middle of this thick epithelium.

A

OLFACTORY NEURONS

32
Q

apical (luminal) pole of each olfactory cell is its dendrite end and has a knoblike swelling with about a dozen basal bodies, from which long cilia project into the overlying aqueous layer

A

OLFACTORY NEURONS

33
Q

These cilia have nonmotile axonemes and collectively provide a large surface for transmembrane chemoreceptors

A

OLFACTORY NEURONS

34
Q

The receptors respond to ______ by generating an action potential along the axons extending from the basal ends of these neurons

A
