A) olfactory cortex.
B) olfactory foramina.
C) cribriform plate.
D) thalamus.
E) olfactory bulbs.
Ethmoid Bone
A spongy, cubical bone at the root of the nose that separates the nasal cavity from the brain, part of the cranium.
Olfactory Bulbs
Structures located at the base of the brain's frontal lobes, involved in the processing of odors.
Cribriform Plate
A sievelike structure between the anterior cranial fossa and the nasal cavity, forming part of the ethmoid bone.
