- One way to classify neurons is by the number of extensions that extend from the neuron's cell body (soma). Bipolar neurons have two processes extending from the cell body (examples: retinal cells, olfactory epithelium cells).

Semicircle A semicircle of radius r. In mathematics (and more specifically geometry), a semicircle is a one-dimensional locus of points that forms half of a circle. The full arc of a semicircle always measures 180° (equivalently, π radians, or a half-turn).

olfaction A large family of odorant receptors. The olfactory system is the first of our sensory systems that has been deciphered primarily using molecular techniques. Axel and Buck showed that three per cent of our genes are used to code for the different odorant receptors on the membrane of the olfactory receptor cells.

The Sense of Smell: A Powerful Sense The olfactory bulb is one of the structures of the limbic system and a very ancient part of the brain. As mentioned in the previous description of the olfactory process, the information captured by the sense of smell goes from the olfactory bulb to other structures of the limbic system.The limbic system is a network of connected structures near the middle of the brain linked within the central nervous system. Underneath the mucus, in the olfactory epithelium, specialized receptor cells called olfactory receptor neurons detect the odor. 2  These neurons are capable of detecting thousands of different odors. 3  The olfactory receptor neurons transmit the information to the olfactory bulbs, which are located at the back of the nose.

- The olfactory cells of the epithelium are bipolar neurons which congregate to form the olfactory nerve. The olfactory nerves go through the cribriform plate and terminate on the dendrites of the mitral cells located in the glomeruli of the olfactory bulb.The apical poles of these neurons are covered with non-motile cilia, with the plasma membrane containing odorant-binding proteins acting as olfactory receptors.he olfactory nerves go through the cribriform plate and terminate on the dendrites of the mitral cells located in the glomeruli of the olfactory bulb.

Olfactory System Anatomy Olfactory Tract and Central Pathways. Mitral cell axons project to the olfactory cortex via the olfactory tract. Medial fibers of the tract contact the anterior olfactory nucleus and the septal area. Some fibers project to the contralateral olfactory bulb via the anterior commissure.

Olfactory nerves Olfactory nerves. Also known as CN1, the olfactory nerve is the first of 12 cranial nerves located within the head. It relays sensory data to the brain, and it is responsible for the sense of smell. The nerve's olfactory receptors are located within the mucosa of the nasal cavity.Unlike many other nerves, CN1 does not possess two trunks.

Olfactory System Anatomy Mitral cells are second-order neurons contacted by the olfactory nerve fibers at the glomerular layer of the bulb. The glomerular layer is the most superficial layer, consisting of mitral cell dendritic arborizations (glomeruli), olfactory nerve fibers, and periglomerular cells.

Olfactory receptor Olfactory receptors expressed in the cell membranes of olfactory receptor neurons are responsible for the detection of odor molecules.ather than binding specific ligands, olfactory receptors display affinity for a range of odor molecules, and conversely a single odorant molecule may bind to a number of olfactory receptors with varying affinities, which depend on physio-chemical properties of molecules like their molecular volumes.

- The olfactory bulb (bulbus olfactorius) is a neural structure of the vertebrate forebrain involved in olfaction, or the sense of smell.he accessory olfactory bulb (AOB), which resides on the dorsal-posterior region of the main olfactory bulb, forms a parallel pathway independent from the main olfactory bulb.

Olfactory receptor Expression [edit]. In vertebrates, the olfactory receptors are located in both the cilia and synapses of the olfactory sensory neurons and in the epithelium of the human airway.In insects, olfactory receptors are located on the antennae and other chemosensory organs.lfactory receptors expressed in the cell membranes of olfactory receptor neurons are responsible for the detection of odor molecules.

Similar to other sensory modalities, olfactory information must be transmitted from peripheral olfactory structures, like the olfactory epithelium, to more central structures, meaning the olfactory bulb and cortex.

Sensory Systems/Olfactory System/Sensory Organ Components The olfactory mucous membrane contains the olfactory receptor cells and in humans it covers an area about 3 – 5 cm^2 in the roof of the nasal cavity near the septum. Because the receptors are continuously regenerated it contains both the supporting cells and progenitors cells of the olfactory receptors.

Central nervous system Two pairs of cranial nerves; the olfactory nerves and the optic nerves are often considered structures of the central nervous system. This is because they do not synapse first on peripheral ganglia, but directly on central nervous neurons.

14. Olfaction and the Limbic System Olfaction is not currently considered to be part of the limbic system but is discussed here for convenience. Olfactory receptors and cranial nerve I: The olfactory receptors are neurons within the olfactory epithelium (#15100) located in the upper nasal cavity.

The Olfactory Nerve The Olfactory Nerve is the first of the Twelve Cranial Nerves. It consists of both afferent and efferent sensory fibers. The word Afferent means toward the centre, as in from a peripheral area of a limb to the central nervous system. The Olfactory Cells contain sensory nerve fibers that are alerted to the sense of smell. 2  There is a refractory period for each cell so certain areas of the Olfactory mucosa are stimulated each time a new smell enters the Nasal Cavity.

Olfaction Olfactory sensory neurons project axons to the brain within the olfactory nerve, (cranial nerve I). These nerve fibers, lacking myelin sheaths, pass to the olfactory bulb of the brain through perforations in the cribriform plate, which in turn projects olfactory information to the olfactory cortex and other areas.he sensory receptors of the accessory olfactory system are located in the vomeronasal organ. As in the main olfactory system, the axons of these sensory neurons project from the vomeronasal organ to the accessory olfactory bulb, which in the mouse is located on the dorsal-posterior portion of the main olfactory bulb.

Functional Classification of Neurons â Diagrammatic View Sensory neurons (afferent neurons) are unipolar, bipolar, or multipolar shaped cells that conduct action potentials toward or into the central nervous system. They carry somatic nervous system signals from the skin, joints, skeletal muscles, sensory organs (eyes, ears, mouth, and nose).

Senses 3 Bundles of unmyelinated axons from the bipolar olfactory cells pass through the olfactory foramina in the cribiform plate of the ethmoid. These bundles are collectively referred to as the olfactory nerve (CN I). Synapse in the olfactory bulbs. Axons of the 2nd order neurons in the olfactory bulbs extend posteriorly as olfactory tracts. Project to part of the limbic system in the temporal lobe. Conscious awareness of scents begins.
