Cranial Nerve I: Olfactory Bulbus olfactorius Foramen: cribiform plate of ethmoid Region Entered: nasal cavity Components: special sensory Target: olfactory epithelium Function: smell 50 million primary sensory receptor cells in 2. 5 cm 2 Bipolar cells
Second neurons: First neurons: Unmyelinated 8 -20 cilia of 30 -200 in length The mucous lipids assist in transporting the odorant molecules as only volatile materials soluble in the mucous, can interact with the olfactory receptors & produce the signals that our brain interprets as odor 60 thick layer of mucous (lipid- rich secretion that bathes the surface of the receptors at the epithelium surface)
Lateral anterior olfactory nucleus stria pyriform cortex olfactory tubercle transitional entorhinal cortex nucleus of horizontal limb of diagonal band Medial stria
Olfactory Tract Connections& Lesion § Lateral stria primary olfactory cortex (periamygdaloid & prepiriform areas) secondary olfactory cortex (entorhinal area (area 28)) § Medial stria cross the anterior commisure to join contralateral olfactory bulb Unilateral anosmia : Compression due to abcess, glioma, meningioma of frontal lob or hypothalamus which may result in ipsilateral optic atropy & contralateral papilledema Foster-Kennedy syndrome

1 st neurone: rod & cone cells of the retina 2 nd neurone: bipolar neurones of the retina 3 rd neurone: multipolar neurones of the retina Axons of the ganglion opticum run via the N. opticus to the chiasma
In the chiasma opticum, fibres of the nasal part of the retina cross to the contralateral side, and those of the temporal part continue ipsilaterally Each tractus opticus consists of fibres transporting the information from the contralateral halves of the visual field corpus geniculatum laterale&mediale (some fibres), hypothalamus go directly to the cortex of the brain 4 th neurone: corpus geniculatum laterale areas 17&18 around the sulcus calcarinus (area striata)
