Anatomical terminology
[edit on Wikidata]
The olfactory mucosa is the neuroepithelialial mucosa[1] lining the roof and upper parts of the septum and lateral wall of the nasal cavity[1][2] which contains bipolar neurons of the primary receptor neurons of the olfactory pathway, as well as supporting cells. The neurons' dendrites project towards the nasal cavity while their axons ascend through the cribriform plate[1] as the olfactory nerves.[3]
The part of the nasal cavity that is lined with olfactory mucosa is known as the olfactory region (pars olfactoria tunicae mucosae nasi),[2] while the rest of the nasal cavity that is lined by ordinary respiratory mucosa is known as the respiratory region.[4]
