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 cribriform plate is perforated by olfactory foramina, which allow for the passage of the olfactory nerves to the roof of the nasal cavity. [4] This conveys information from smell receptors to the brain .
The paired anterior ethmoidal foramen connects the anterior cranial fossa with each orbit and transmits the anterior ethmoidal artery, nerve and vein. The cribriform foramina are the openings in the cribriform plate of the ethmoid bone, which connect the anterior cranial fossa with the nasal cavity and transmit the olfactory nerves. [2]

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
Humans have between 10 and 20 million olfactory receptor neurons (ORNs). [3] In vertebrates, ORNs are bipolar neurons with dendrites facing the external surface of the cribriform plate with axons that pass through the cribriform foramina with terminal end at olfactory bulbs. The ORNs are located in the olfactory epithelium in the
The ethmoid bone is an anterior cranial bone located between the eyes. [3] It contributes to the medial wall of the orbit, the nasal cavity, and the nasal septum. [3] The ethmoid has three parts: cribriform plate, ethmoidal labyrinth, and perpendicular plate.
The specialized olfactory receptor neurons of the olfactory nerve are located in the olfactory mucosa of the upper parts of the nasal cavity.The olfactory nerves consist of a collection of many sensory nerve fibers that extend from the olfactory epithelium to the olfactory bulb, passing through the many openings of the cribriform plate, a sieve-like structure of the ethmoid bone.
