Naval Cavity Olfactory Region Histology

Olfactory epithelium cells

  1. Olfactory cells
  2. Sustentacular cells - located mainly in the superficial cell layer of the epithelium (difficult to distinguish from olfactory cells).
  3. Basal cells - identified by their location.

Epithelium

  • Cilia are not visible
  • goblet cells are absent from the olfactory epithelium.

Lamina Propria

  • olfactory axon bundles (lightly stained, rounded areas) connected to olfactory cells.
  • Bowman's glands - (small mucous glands, olfactory glands) function to moisturise the epithelium.
