how does the repair of olfactory epithelium compare to that of the respiratory epithelium?
Added by Jose Luis P.
Step 1
The olfactory epithelium is specialized tissue located in the nasal cavity, responsible for detecting odors. It contains olfactory receptor neurons and supporting cells. The respiratory epithelium, also found in the nasal cavity and extending into the trachea and Show more…

Your sense of smell depends on a population of olfactory sensory cells found in the nasal cavity. A diagram of the human olfactory system follows. The red diamonds represent molecules of a particular odor. Olfactory bulb neurons Olfactory bulb Olfactory cells Nasal cavity Mucus Olfactory receptor Which of the following statements regarding the human olfactory system are true? Check all that apply. Olfactory receptors are mechanoreceptors. Olfactory cells make synapses directly with neurons in the olfactory bulb of the brain. Volatile food molecules from the throat can activate olfactory receptors.
