Olfactory Scheme / Overview:
Smell Olfactory Nerves Olfactory Bulb Olfactory Tract Olfactory Trigone Lateral Stria, Medial Stria and Intermediate stria

Olfactory Epithelium:
Pseudostratified Columnar epithelium (supporting cells)
Consists of: Basal Cells, Sustentacular Cells, Olfactory gland cells (Bowmans glands), Olfactory receptor neurons
Olfactory neurons are bipolar neurons

How we detect smell:
Odorants enters nasal cavity through either nasal opening or nasopharynx.

Olfactory Neuron:
Dendrites detect smell through a gprotein couples membrane receptor.
Signals pass through the cell body and axon
Axons form nerve bundles (fila olfactoria)

Olfactory Bulb (bulbus olfactorius):
Mitral Cells
Olfactory Glomerulus (glomeruli)
Tufted Cells
Amacrine Granular Cells
Periglomerular Cells

Olfactory Pathway:
Olfactory Bulb to the Olfactory Tract
When the tract gets closer to the olfactory tract, it widens as the Olfactory Trigone (trigonum olfactorium) and divides into Lateral olfactory stria, Medial olfactory stria and intermediate olfactory stria.

Lateral Olfactory Stria (stria olfactoria lateralis)
Towards Primary Olfactory Cortex, which sends information to secondary olfactory cortex

Medial Olfactory Stria (stria olfactoria medialis):
Go towards the subcallosal gyrus (part of limbic system)

Intermediate Olfactory Stria (stria olfactoria intemedialis):
Goes towards the olfactory Tubercle (part of the limbic system and the rewards system)

Clinical Relevance:
Anosmia: Temporary or permanent loss of the sense of smell
Dysosmia: Distortion of the perception of smell
Parosmia: Normal smell smell and taste unpleasant/disgusting
Phantosmia: Detect smells that aren't really there in your envirnoment
