What type of glands occur in olfactory epithelium?
Bowman's glands, also known as olfactory glands, occur in the olfactory epithelium. These glands secrete mucus that helps to moisten and protect the olfactory epithelium, as well as provide a medium for odor molecules to dissolve in, allowing for olfaction, or the sense of smell.
How do olfactory receptor cells work to make smell possible?
The olfactory bulb is actually a tiny lobe of the brain. There are many thousands of different cell types in the olfactory bulb, each with receptors for different chemicals. When these receptors bind to their matching chemical in the air they become excited and trigger a nearby olfactory nerve cell. Details of what happens after this have yet to be worked out, but basically the firing of these nerve cells is analyzed by nerve circuits in the rest of the olfactory bulb then transferred to the brain, where we call it "smell".
What body system does the lymph glands belong to?
The endocrine system of the body is the one that contains the glands. They consist of, the hypothalamus, pituitary, pineal, thyroid, thymus, pancreas, adrenals, and gonads. The gonads are the sex glands; ovaries in females and testes in males. The placenta is also considered as having some gland-like functions during pregnancy. The gastrointestinal tract also has glands that secrete digestive juices. ---- * the pineal gland (possibly also in the nervous system) * the hypothalamus (possibly also in the nervous system) * the pituitary gland (possibly also in the nervous system) * the thyroid * the parathyroids (also an exocrine gland) * the thymus (also in the lymphatic system) * the adrenal glands * the endocrine pancreas (also called the islets of Langerhans) * the ovaries [in female] (also in the female reproductive system) * the testes/testicles [in male] (also in the male reproductive system) * accessory lacrimal glands (eye) * anterior lingual glands (near tip of tongue) * apocrine sweat glands (skin) * Bartholin's glands (vagina and vulva) * Bauhin's glands (near tip of tongue) * Boerhaave's glands (skin) * Bowman's glands (olfactory region of nose) * Brunner's glands (duodenum) * bulbourethral glands (base of penis) * Ciaccio's glands (eye) * Cobelli's glands (in the cardiac sphincter mucosa) * coccygeal gland (near tip of coccyx) * Cowper's glands (base of penis) * duodenal glands (duodenum) * Duverney's gland (either side of vagina) * Ebner's glands (tongue) * eccrine sweat glands (skin) * esophageal glands (esophagus) * exocrine pancreas (pancreas) * Fränkel's glands (below vocal cords edge) * gastric chief cell (stomach) * Gley's glands (thyroid surface) * glomus coccygeum (near tip of coccyx) * goblet cells (digestive and respiratory tracts) * Guérin's glands (vagina) * Henle's glands (in conjuctiva of eyelids) * Huguier's glands (vagina) * Krause's glands (in conjuctiva of eyelids) * Lieberkuhn's glands (intestinal mucous membrane surface) * Littré's glands (spongy portion of urethra) * Luschka's gland (near tip of coccyx) * mammary gland (breast) * Meibomian gland (eyelids) * Mery's glands (base of penis) * Moll's glands (eyelids) * Montgomery's glands (mammary areola) * Morgagni's glands (spongy portion of urethra) * Naboth's glands (cervix and external orifice of uterus) * olfactory glands (olfactory region of nose) * Paneth cells (small intestine) * parathyroid glands (thyroid surface) * parotid gland (mouth) * Peyer's patches (ileum) * pyloric glands (pylorus) * Rivini's gland (mouth) * Sandstroem's glands (thyroid surface) * sebaceous glands (skin) * Sigmund's glands (epitrochlear lymph nodes) * Skene's glands (vagina) * sublingual gland (mouth) * submandibular gland (mouth) * sudoriparous glands (skin) * Suzanne's gland (beneath alveolingual groove in mouth) * Tiedmann's glands (vagina and vulva) * vulvovaginal glands (vagina and vulva) * Wasmann's glands (stomach) * Weber's glands (tongue) * glands of Zeis (margin of eyelids)
