In mammalian anatomy, the cribriform plate (Latin for lit. sieve-shaped), horizontal lamina or lamina cribrosa is part of the ethmoid bone. It is received into the ethmoidal notch of the frontal bone and roofs in the nasal cavities .
Other differences in head shape between brachycephalic and dolichocephalic dogs include changes in the craniofacial angle (angle between the basilar axis and hard palate) (Regodón 1993), morphology of the temporomandibular joint (Dickie 2001), and radiographic anatomy of the cribriform plate (Schwarz 2000).

The ethmoid has three parts: cribriform plate, ethmoidal labyrinth, and perpendicular plate. The cribriform plate forms the roof of the nasal cavity and also contributes to formation of the anterior cranial fossa, [4] the ethmoidal labyrinth consists of a large mass on either side of the perpendicular plate, and the perpendicular plate forms ...
Cribriform plate of the ethmoid bone (horizontal lamina or lamina cribrosa ossis ethmoidalis) Lamina cribrosa sclerae , a mesh-like structures which allows nerve fibres of the optic nerve to pass through the sclera
Located in the cribriform plate of the ethmoid bone. Animal research indicates that the terminal nerve is involved in the detection of pheromones. [2] I Olfactory: Purely sensory Telencephalon: Located in the olfactory foramina in the cribriform plate of the ethmoid bone. Transmits the sense of smell from the nasal cavity. [3] II Optic: Sensory
The olfactory foramina, also known as the cribriform foramina (cribr- is "a sieve" in Greek), is the grouping of holes located on the cribriform plate.The cribriform plate forms the roof of the nasal cavity, and the olfactory foramina are in the two depressions lateral to the median blade of the cribriform plate called the crista galli.
The ethmoidal labyrinth or lateral mass of the ethmoid bone consists of a number of thin-walled cellular cavities, the ethmoid air cells, arranged in three groups, anterior, middle, and posterior, and interposed between two vertical plates of bone; the lateral plate forms part of the orbit, the medial plate forms part of the nasal cavity.
The perpendicular plate of the ethmoid bone (vertical plate) is a thin, flattened lamina, polygonal in form, which descends from the under surface of the cribriform plate, and assists in forming the septum of the nose; it is generally deflected a little to one or other side. The anterior border articulates with the spine of the frontal bone and ...
