The olfactory mucosa is a component of the nasal airway that mediates the sense of smell.
Recent studies point to an important role for the olfactory mucosa as a barrier to both …

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 …

The extensive diversity observed in bat nasal chemosensory systems has been well‐
documented at the histological level. Understanding how this diversity evolved and …

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 …

The peripheral structures of mammalian sensory organs often serve to support their
functionality, such as alignment of hair cells to the mechanical properties of the inner ear …

Turbinal bones are key components of the mammalian rostrum that contribute to three
critical functions:(1) homeothermy,(2) water conservation and (3) olfaction. With over 700 …

The nasal cavity performs several crucial functions in mammals, including rodents, being
involved in respiration, behavior, reproduction, and olfaction. Its anatomical structure is …

Animals have been widely utilized as surrogate models for humans in exposure testing,
infectious disease experiments, and immunology studies. However, respiratory diseases …

Multiple corrugated cartilaginous structures are formed within the mammalian nasal capsule,
eventually developing into turbinals. Due to its complex and derived morphology, the …

This special issue of The Anatomical Record is the outcome of a symposium entitled “Inside
the Vertebrate Nose: Evolution, Structure and Function.” The skeletal framework of the nasal …
