What cranial nerve passes through the foramen magnum?
olfactroy olfactroyOlfactory nerves Olfactory nerves
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 are the major anatomical components of the human head?
The major anatomical components of the human head include the skull, which protects the brain, and the face, which includes features like the eyes, nose, mouth, and ears. Within the skull, there are important structures like the brain, cranial nerves, and blood vessels. Additionally, there are various muscles, glands, and sensory organs that contribute to the overall structure and function of the head.
Can magnetic field pass through the skull?
Yes
Why babies push their top lip against their nose?
I cant speak for the baby involved. To me it is logical that the baby states: I am I. My nerves go through my backbones, towards my neckbones, into my skull, to end in the tip of my nose. Some nerves may endin the upperlip. By curling the lip around, the baby states to me: I am I. I now becoming a new human, apart from the semon of my dad that grew in my mother. Period.

Where is the cranial located?
The cranial nerves are located outside of the brain and skull. These nerves come right from the brain and brain stem.
What is the function of the olfactory bulb in a fish?
enhancing discrimination between odors.enhancing sensitivity of odor detection.filtering out many background odors to enhance the transmission of a few select odors.permitting higher brain areas involved in arousal and attention to modify the detection or the discrimination of odors.Olfactory nerves act as transducers - changing chemical signals, as when an odor chemical binds to its receptor at an olfactory dendritic nerve ending, into nerve impulses - that is (i.e.) biological signals. These reside in the mucous membrane.Nerve fibers leave the olfactory cells and enter the skull through the ethmoid bone, then disappear into the 'olfactory bulb' located at the anterior end of the 'olfactory tract', which then leads to the frontal - and eventually the temporal - lobe of the cerebrum.
Why is it important for the skull to have holes through the bone?
So nerves and blood vessels can get out. Otherwise, it'd be like having a second floor on your house with no windows, doors, or stairs.
