- Where exactly is the olfactory cortex located? Is it located in both the frontal lobe (that receives information from the olfactory bulb) and the temporal lobe (lateral olfactory cortex)? Does it go through the frontal lobe then to the temporal?arrow_forwardWhat are olfactory cells ? Explain the importance of the olfactory cells ?arrow_forwardReceptors within the olfactory epithelium in the nasal cavity project to the glomeruli, which project to the mitral cells, which project as cranial nerve one to the pyriform and the entorhinal cortex located in the anterior and medial temporal lobe. What's odd about this sensory pathway, unlike other sensory pathways? Select one: a. it does not show sensory adaptation b. there is no thalamic nuclei processing olfactory infomation prior to processing in the primary cortex c. loss of smell can be a result of damage to the temporal lobe or damage to the olfactory receptor cells d. it processes information ipsilaterally e. the primary olfactory cortex is not part of the telencephalonarrow_forward
- Which of the following statements about the olfactory system is true? Question 2 options: Turbinates are always in motion to sweep odorants up to the olfactory epithelium. All odorants must reach the olfactory epithelium through the nose. The two nasal cavities sample different sections of air providing a binasal experience. Olfactory receptor neurons die after about a month and must be resupplied.arrow_forwardWhat would happen to your sense of smell if there were damage to basal cells or no basal cells present in the olfactory epithelium?arrow_forwardWhat are olfactory receptors, olfactory sensory neurons, olfactory bulbs, and olfactory cortex?arrow_forward
