olfactory mucosa

Behind the nose are the olfactory mucosa and the sinuses.

There also has been pheromone receptor genes found in olfactory mucosa.

Cells in the olfactory mucosa have been shown to have a degree of plasticity, and hold potential for therapeutic applications.

"A sniff straightens the nasal cavity so the odorant hits straight to the olfactory mucosa," he said.

The nerve fibre that connects the olfactory mucosa to the olfactory bulb ends in this region of the brain.

The ability of pigeons to detect a magnetic field is impaired by application of ligocaine, an anesthetic, to the olfactory mucosa.

The olfactory nerve is sensory in nature and originates on the olfactory mucosa in the anterosuperior nasal cavity.

In humans, N. fowleri can invade the central nervous system via the nose (specifically through the olfactory mucosa and cribriform plate of the nasal tissues).

The specialized olfactory receptor neurons of the olfactory nerve are located in the olfactory mucosa of the upper parts of the nasal cavity.

The process of smelling begins when chemical molecules enter the nose and reach the olfactory mucosa, a dime-sized region located in the nasal cavity that contains olfactory receptor neurons.

Olfactory adult stem cells have been successfully harvested from the human olfactory mucosa cells, which are found in the lining of the nose and are involved in the sense of smell.

As a neural circuit, the glomerular layer receives direct input from olfactory nerves, made up of the axons from approximately ten million olfactory receptor neurons in the olfactory mucosa, a region of the nasal cavity.

From the olfactory mucosa, the nerve travels down the olfactory tract until it reaches the olfactory bulb, where the fascicles of the olfactory nerve pass through foramina on the cribriform plate, which resides on the roof of the nasal cavity.

Bowman's glands (a.k.a. olfactory glands, glands of Bowman) are situated in the olfactory mucosa, beneath the olfactory epithelium, in the lamina propria, a connective tissue also containing fibroblasts, blood vessels, and bundles of fine axons from the olfactory neurons.
