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.
What else can I help you with?
What is the site of cribiform plate?
the ethmoid bone of the skull
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 the cribirform plate?
The cribiform plate is a bony structure in the skull that contains small holes through which olfactory nerve fibers pass to connect the nose to the brain. Its main function is to allow for the sense of smell by transmitting olfactory signals to the brain.
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.
What is the name of the famous fault boundary that passes through California?
Pacific Plate and North American Plate.
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 name of the part of the plate boundary that passes through California?
actually it is not a plate boundary it is a fault a strike slip fault -les bois student014
What is an example of a volcano on a diverging plate boundary?
The Bárðarbunga volcano in Iceland (currently erupting) is an example. A diverging plate boundary passes through the island of Iceland.
The nasal cavities are separated by what structure?
The nasal cavities are separated by a structure called the nasal septum, which is made up of bone and cartilage. It divides the two cavities into right and left sides.
What is a wave plate and how does it affect the polarization of light?
A wave plate is an optical device that changes the polarization of light. It does this by altering the phase difference between the two perpendicular components of light waves. This change in phase causes the light to be polarized in a specific direction when it passes through the wave plate.
Does the equator passes through gabon?
Yes, the equator passes through GABON.
