Anatomy of the olfactory system
- The olfactory neurons are in the olfactory epithelium
- The neurons form the fila olfactoria (nerve bundles)
- These pass through the cribriform plate into the cranium
- They connect with olfactory bulb glomeruli neurons
- The olfactory bulbs project to the olfactory cortex
- The primary olfactory region includes the piriform cortex
- The secondary olfactory areas include the hippocampus
