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 Olfactory area is involved in the conscious perception of smell?

The olfactory cortex, specifically the primary olfactory cortex located in the temporal lobe, is primarily involved in the conscious perception of smell. This area processes the information received from the olfactory bulb to help identify and interpret different odors.

What lobe of the cerebrum are the association centers for hearing and smelling located?

The association centers for hearing are located in the temporal lobe, specifically in an area called the auditory cortex. The association centers for smelling, on the other hand, are located in the olfactory bulb and olfactory cortex, which are part of the frontal and temporal lobes.
