What is a holey plate that allows olfactory fibers to pass?
ethmoid bone
What has a holey plate that allows olfactory fibers to pass?
The ethmoid bone contains the cribriform plate which allows olfactory fibers to pass from the mucousa membrane to the brain. - Good luck in Anatomy!
It's holey plate allows olfactory fibers to pass?
The ethmoid has a holey plate that separates the nasal cavity from the brain. The ethmoid sinus has small cavities which allow fibers to pass.
What are the bones give pass to the olfactory nerve fibers?
The bones that give passage to the olfactory nerve fibers are the cribriform plate of the ethmoid bone. The olfactory nerve fibers pass through small openings called cribriform foramina in the cribriform plate, allowing them to enter the nasal cavity and transmit sensory information related to smell.
A fracture of the ethmoid bone could result in damage to which cranial nerve?
Olfactory nerve. Olfactory nerve fibers arise from olfactory receptor cells located in olfactory epithelium of nasal cavity and pass through cribriform plate of ethmoid bone to synapse in olfactory bulb.
A fracture of the ethmoid bone would result in damage to which cranial nerve?
Olfactory nerve. Olfactory nerve fibers arise from olfactory receptor cells located in olfactory epithelium of nasal cavity and pass through cribriform plate of ethmoid bone to synapse in olfactory bulb.
Is the olfactory nerve a function of the paranasal sinuses?
No, the olfactory nerve (cranial nerve I) is the nerve that allows one to have a sense of smell. Its nerve endings are found in the nasal mucosa adjacent to the cribriform plate in the skull.
What is the bony structure between the olfactory epithelium and the olfactory bulb?
Cribriform plate
Where is the cruciform plate?
the plate in the nasal cavity through which the olfactory nerves pass.
What structures are the receptors for the sense of smell?
The receptors that actually bind with the molecules that we smell are called Olfactory receptor neurons. They pass their signal through the caribform plate, then down the olfactory nerve, and finally to the olfactory bulb in the brain.
What bone contains the mental foramina?
cribriform plate make up the ethmoidal labyrinths. Their walls form most of the inner walls of the eye sockets and are joined together by a thin perforated plate of bone at the roof of the nose. This bone, the cribriform plate, transmits the olfactory nerves that carry the sense of smell.
What passes through cribiform plate?
Small unmyelinated axons from olfactory receptor bipolar neurons (originating in the olfactory epithelium of the nasal cavity) pass through small holes in the cribriform plate of the ethmoid bone. These small nerves are primary sensory neurons that synapse with the olfactory bulb of Cranial Nerve 1 (olfactory nerve) which lies on top of the cribriform plate. These olfactory receptor neurons bind to different types of odorant molecules and, depending on the type of receptor and odorant molecule, fire action potentials which are transmitted to the brain and perceived as recognizable odors. Specifically these are called the Fila Olfactoria.
