Where do the cells project through the ethmoid bone and synapse with the olfactory bulbs?

1 answer:

8 0

The afferent nerve fibres of the olfactory receptor neurons transmit nerve signal about odours to the CNS. From the olfactory mucosa (inside the nasal cavity), the nerve travels up through the cribriform plate of the ethmoid bone where the fascicles enter the olfactory bulb. The olfactory bulb is a structure which contains specialised neurones, called mitral cells and the nerve fibres synapse with those mitral cells, forming collections known as synaptic glomeruli. From the glomeruli, second order nerves then pass into the olfactory tract which runs to the CNS (primary olfactory cortex).

Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Answer: Alveoli

Explanation: Alveoli of lungs are surrounded by extensive blood capillaries. The partial pressure of oxygen in the alveoli is higher than the blood entering the pulmonary capillaries, hence oxygen moves into the blood. Carbon dioxide in the lungs simultaneously diffuse out of the blood into the alveolar space.

Evolution is the

lina2011 [118]

Answer:

Evolution is the biological process that happens over time in a population, giving rise to new species. The theory of evolution states that all organisms alive on Earth today have a common ancestor which lived years ago.

Explanation:

Evolution is one of the fundamental reason of diverse life on Earth today. Principally, this process takes place by changes in genetic elements via mutations and crossing-over. The positive changes (mutations) allow the organism to develop better condition in order to survive in changing environmment. However, if the changes takes place at major scale, it also leads to the creation/development of new species. To explain this further, I have added a photograph where we can see how different organisms were evolved in the history of Earth.
