Anatomy of the olfactory system
TD Smith, KP Bhatnagar - Handbook of clinical neurology, 2019 - Elsevier
Of the principal sensory systems (vision, olfaction, taste, hearing, and balance), olfaction is
one of the oldest. This ubiquitous system has both peripheral and central subdivisions. The …

Turbinal bones are still one of the last frontiers of the tetrapod skull: hypotheses, challenges and perspectives
Turbinals are bony or cartilaginous structures that are present in the nasal cavity of most
tetrapods. They are involved in key functions such as olfaction, heat, and moisture …

On the embryonic development of the nasal turbinals and their homology in bats
Multiple corrugated cartilaginous structures are formed within the mammalian nasal capsule,
eventually developing into turbinals. Due to its complex and derived morphology, the …

The shrinking anthropoid nose, the human vomeronasal organ, and the language of anatomical reduction
TD Smith, JT Laitman, KP Bhatnagar - The Anatomical Record, 2014 - Wiley Online Library
Humans and most of our closest extant relatives, the anthropoids, are notable for their
reduced “snout.” The striking reduction in facial projection is only a superficial similarity. All …

The role of the olfactory recess in olfactory airflow
The olfactory recess–a blind pocket at the back of the nasal airway–is thought to play an
important role in mammalian olfaction by sequestering air outside of the main airstream, thus …

The nose knows: a review of the diversity, form, and function of the external and internal features of the bat nose
Dr. M. Brock Fenton has been intrigued by the diversity of bats throughout his long career,
and has combined his research and photography skills to capture the extensive …

Fissures, folds, and scrolls: The ontogenetic basis for complexity of the nasal cavity in a fruit bat (Rousettus leschenaultii)
Mammalian nasal capsule development has been described in only a few cross‐sectional
age series, rendering it difficult to infer developmental mechanisms that influence adult …

Nasal morphometry in marmosets: loss and redistribution of olfactory surface area
The two major groups of primates differ in internal nasal anatomy. Strepsirrhines (eg,
lemurs) have more numerous turbinals and recesses compared with haplorhines (eg …
