taste and smell part 2 Flashcards
Olfactory receptor cells
replaced every 1-2 months by basal cells in the olfactory epithelium
olfactory epithelium
olfactory receptor cells/neurons, basal cells and support cells
—– of olfactory receptor cells extend to the surface of the olfactory epithelium and terminate with a ——–region from which non-motile cilia project.
Dendrites of olfactory receptor cells extend to the surface of the olfactory epithelium and terminate with a rounded knoblike-region from which non-motile cilia project.
Cilia
extend into the mucus layer and possess receptors for odorant molecules
Unmyelinated axons of olfactory receptor cells to
olfactory filia to olfactory nerve
Unmyelinated axons of olfactory receptor cells
pass through the lamina propria
place where the olfactory axons synapse After passing through the cribiform plate
Receptors responsive to different odorant molecules are —– in the olfactory epithelium
Receptors responsive to different odorant molecules are intermingled in the olfactory epithelium
Unmyelinated axons of olfactory receptor cells travel through the —— —–(ethmoid bone) and terminate in the —–
Theses axons travel through the cribiform plate (ethmoid bone) and terminate in the olfactory bulb.
cribiform plate
ethmoid bone
At the level of the glomeruli, the axons of olfactory neurons carrying — olfactory information synapse in the — glomerulus.
©At the level of the glomeruli, the axons of olfactory neurons carrying similar olfactory information synapse in the same glomerulus.
tf CN1 will emerge thru ant cranial fossa
T thru cribiform plate
Neurons in the anterior olfactory nucleus cross via the —– commissure, to the —— olfactory bulb
Neurons in the anterior olfactory nucleus cross via the anterior commissure, to the contralateral olfactory bulb
