Questions and Answers
What are the origins of the olfactory nerves?
The olfactory nerves arise from olfactory receptor nerve cells in the olfactory mucous membrane.
Where is the olfactory mucous membrane located?
The olfactory mucous membrane is situated in the upper part of the nasal cavity above the level of the superior concha.
How do the olfactory nerve fibers connect to the olfactory bulb?
Olfactory nerve fibers pass through the openings of the cribriform plate of the ethmoid bone to enter the olfactory bulb.

Study Notes
Olfactory Nerves (CN I)
- Olfactory nerves originate from olfactory receptor cells located in the olfactory mucous membrane.
- The olfactory mucous membrane is found in the upper nasal cavity, positioned above the superior nasal concha.
- Bundles of olfactory nerve fibers traverse the openings of the cribriform plate within the ethmoid bone.
- These nerve fibers connect to the olfactory bulb, which is located in the cranial cavity.
- The olfactory bulb serves as a relay point, being linked to the olfactory area of the cerebral cortex via the olfactory tract.
