Where is the olfactory epithelium found?
The olfactory epithelium occupies an area of about 5 cm2 in the roof of the nasal cavity. The specialized receptor cells in the olfactory epithelium are surrounded by supporting cells, non-sensory epithelial cells. The olfactory receptor cells are bipolar neurons whose olfactory cilia extend outward from the epithelium.
What are nerve cells found in the nose and throat?
olfactory nerve
What is the part of your nose that holds your olfactory cells?
The olfactory epithelium contains 10 million olfactory cells. Since you have two nostrils, you have a total of 20 million smell cells!
What is the part of my nose that holds your olfactory cells?
The olfactory epithelium contains 10 million olfactory cells. Since you have two nostrils, you have a total of 20 million smell cells!
What type of nerve cells receives stimuli for the sense of small?
Olfactory nerves, definetly. We're studying this currently in my grade.

Olfactory nerve filaments are found?
in the olfactory bulb
These cells provide physical support nurshment and electrical insulation for olfatory receptors cells?
These cells are called sustentacular cells or supporting cells. They surround and support the olfactory receptor cells in the olfactory epithelium. They provide physical support, nourishment, and electrical insulation to the olfactory receptor cells, helping to maintain their function.
In what cells does a smell impulse begin?
In the olfactory nerves of the nose
What are the nerve cells that react to gases?
Olfactory nerve cells
Mitral cells synapse with?
granule cells in olfactory cortex
What cells provide for the sense of smell?
Olfactory hair cells
What are the olfactory membranes?
The olfactory membrane is a layer of cells on the roof of the nasal cavity also called theepithelium, . It is made up of three layers, the supporting cells, the olfactory receptor cells, and the basal cells. Supporting cells help produce mucus. Basal cells are the source of new receptors. and Olfactory receptor cells, these are actually neurons and are the site of transduction. Olfactory receptor cells are the only neurons in the nervous system that are regularly replaced, lasting about about 4 to 8 weeks.
