Site of the cribriform plate?
Ethmoid bone
What senses is harmed with a damaged cribriform plate?
It will reduce your sense of smell.
What bone contains the cribriform plate?
A fractured cribriform plate can result in cerebrospinal fluid leaking into the nose and loss of sense of smell.
What are membranes that stabilize th position of th brain attached to?
cribriform plate.
What is the bony structure between the olfactory epithelium and the olfactory bulb?
Cribriform plate
Why are there holes in the cribriform plate?
the holes allow for cranial nerve I to pass through our nose
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.
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.
Where do the cranial nerves exit?
The cranial nerves exit from the brain inside the cranial cavity.
Receptors for the sense of smell are located within the?
the olfactory bulb is located above the cribriform plate
Which part of the ear contains receptors for static equilibrium?
It is the vestibule and the semicircular ducts are involved with the dynamic equilibrium.
What is the function of a 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.
