Olfactory neurons synapse with mitral cells and tufted cells in the ______, which lies inferior to the frontal lobe.
Madhur L.
Chemoreceptive and exteroreceptive neurons that project into the olfactory system are the receptors for olfaction. These receptors are located in the nasal cavity, where chemicals dissolved in mucus bond to proteins in the plasma membrane of the olfactory neurons. The axons of these receptors project through the cribriform bone to the olfactory bulb, which contains the second order neurons of the olfactory pathway.
Adi S.
Which of the following neural structures of olfaction serve as a relay between the PNS and CNS, containing Cranial Nerve I, association neurons, and ends of the cranial tracts? Olfactory axons Olfactory bulbs Olfactory canals Olfactory dendrites
