Med 435 Olfactory Nerve [The 1st Cranial Nerve] Special Sensory Olfactory pathway 1st order neuron Receptors Axons of 1st order Neurons Olfactory receptors are specialized, ciliated nerve cells The axons of these bipolar cells 12 -20 fibers form the that lie in the olfactory epithelium. true olfactory nerve fibers. Which passes through the cribriform plate of ethmoid → They join the olfactory bulb Preliminary processing of olfactory information It is within the olfactory bulb, which contains interneurones and large Mitral cells; axons from the latter leave the bulb to form the olfactory tract. nd 2 order neuron • It is formed by the Mitral cells of olfactory bulb. • The axons of these cells form the olfactory tract. • Each tract divides into 2 roots at the anterior perforated substance: Lateral root Medial root Carries olfactory fibers to end in cortex of the Uncus & • crosses midline through anterior commissure adjacent part of Hippocampal gyrus (center of smell). and joins the uncrossed lateral root of opposite side. • It connects olfactory centers of 2 cerebral hemispheres. • So each olfactory center receives smell sensation from both halves of nasal cavity. NB. Olfactory pathway is the only sensory pathway which reaches the cerebral cortex without passing through the Thalamus . Trigeminal Nerve [The 5th Cranial Nerve] Mixed Nuclei Trigeminal Branches Ganglion The 5th nerve emerges from the middle of the ventral surface of the pons by 2 roots (Large Lateral sensory root & small medial motor root).

Vestibular nuclei belong to special somatic afferent column in brain stem. Cochlear nuclei belong to special somatic afferent column in brain stem.
