Dandelion is an herb. People use the above ground parts and root to make medicine. Dandelion is used for many conditions, but so far, there isnât enough scientific evidence to determine whether or not it is effective for any of them.
The olfactory epithelium is a layer of odor-sensitive cells located inside the depths of the nose. These cells react to odors as they enter the nose, sending signals to the olfactory bulb.
To get to the brain, the axons of the olfactory sensory neurons must get through the skull (see side view of the skull in Figure 1 on the left). The olfactory epithelium lines the bone of the part of the skull just above the nasal passages, and the axons of the neurons pass directly through tiny holes in this bone. type of spatial mapping also exists in the olfactory epithelium, in the nasal passages. Here, scientists have shown that certain volatile chemicals attach to receptor cells in defined patches of epithelium and not to others.
