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.

The nasal cavities are separated by what structure?
nasal septum
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.

What is the function of place plate?

What is the site of cribiform plate?
the ethmoid bone of the skull
The nasal cavities are separated by what structure?
nasal septum
The cribriform plate and crista galli are part of what?
The cribiform plate and crista galli are part of the Ethmoid Bone. The Cribiform Plate forms the superior surface of the Ethmoid Bone which helps form the roof of the nasal cavities and floor of the anterior cranial fossa. The Crista Galli projects superiorly from the Ethmoid Bone between the Cribiform Plates. The outermost covering of the brain is attached to the Crista Galli and keeps the brain in place.
Part of the skull that has the crista galli?
The crista galli is found on the skull in the cribiform plate of the ethmoid bone.
A crest or projection on the superior surface of the ethmoid bone?
The perpendicular plate, which forms the superior part of the septum, descends from the cribiform plate of the ethmoid bone.
What is the function of underliner plate?
it is the plate under the plate (kea nga UNDER plate!!!) hahaha

What is the function of the sieve plate on a starfish?
the sieve plate is a filter for the water that enters the "Water Vascular System" in Echinoderms.
How does the human skull compare with the grizzly bear skull?
The two animals' skulls are strikingly similar in dentition and overall shape, except the bear's skull has an elongated snout and a massive interface between the nose and brain called the cribiform plate that allows it to smell many times better than a bloodhound.
