The olfactory nerves receive smell signals from olfactory receptor neurons in the nasal cavity and transmit them to the olfactory bulb and other brain regions. The first order neurons are in the olfactory epithelium and project to glomeruli in the olfactory bulb. Second order neurons in the bulb project as the olfactory tract to primary olfactory cortex like the piriform cortex. Higher order processing occurs in other limbic regions. The olfactory system is unique in directly connecting to the brain without relay in the thalamus. Diseases and injuries can cause loss or distortions of smell.

Thalamus is a very important relay station.
All general and special sensory impulses (except smell) & afferent impulses from RAS are integrated here.
Thalamus however is the center of pain and protopathic sensations.
It has other non sensory functions as well, like motor control, sleep, wakefulness.
It is the largest structure deriving from the embryonic diencephalon, the posterior part of the forebrain situated between the midbrain and the cerebrum.
The thalamus is part of a nuclear complex structured of 4 parts, the hypothalamus, epithalamus, prethalamus (formerly called ventral thalamus) and dorsal thalamus.

Olfaction is one the major sense. In the following presentation, a brief description of the olfactory system is given. In this following topics are discussed: olfactory membrane, olfactory bulb, odor pathway, anosmia, directional smelling and plasticity. By the end of it, you will be able to describe the olfactory pathway of the nervous system.
- Cranial nerves are nerves that emerge directly from the brain and brain stem.
- There are twelve pairs of cranial nerves
- The olfactory nerve (CN I) is the first and shortest cranial nerve. It is a special visceral afferent nerve, which transmits information relating to smell.
- Embryologically, the olfactory nerve is derived from the olfactory placode (a thickening of the ectoderm layer), which also give rise to the glial cells which support the nerve.
- The olfactory placode eventually invaginates and forms the olfactory pit, which further develops into the nasal cavity and the olfactory epithelium, where olfactory receptor neurons reside.
The respiratory system is a vital organ system responsible for gas exchange between the body and the environment. Its primary function is to supply oxygen to the blood and remove carbon dioxide. Here’s an overview of the components and functions of the respiratory system:
Components of the Respiratory System
Nose and Nasal Cavity
Function: Filters, warms, and moistens the air; detects odors.
Components: Nostrils, nasal septum, nasal conchae.
Pharynx (Throat)
Function: Passageway for air and food.
Divisions: Nasopharynx, oropharynx, laryngopharynx.
Larynx (Voice Box)
Function: Produces sound; routes air and food into the proper channels.
Components: Epiglottis, vocal cords, thyroid cartilage.
Trachea (Windpipe)
Function: Conducts air to the bronchi.
Structure: C-shaped cartilaginous rings maintain an open airway.
Bronchi and Bronchioles
Function: Conduct air from the trachea to the lungs; branch into smaller passages.
Structure: The right and left primary bronchi lead into the lungs and branch into secondary and tertiary bronchi, and then into bronchioles.
Lungs
Function: Main organs of respiration; contain alveoli where gas exchange occurs.
Structure: The right lung has three lobes (superior, middle, inferior) and the left lung has two lobes (superior, inferior).
Alveoli
Function: Site of gas exchange; oxygen diffuses into the blood, and carbon dioxide diffuses out.
Structure: Tiny air sacs surrounded by capillaries.
Functions of the Respiratory System
Gas Exchange
Oxygen Intake: Oxygen from inhaled air diffuses through the alveoli into the blood.
Carbon Dioxide Removal: Carbon dioxide from the blood diffuses into the alveoli and is exhaled.
Regulation of Blood pH
Carbon Dioxide Levels: The respiratory system helps regulate blood pH by controlling the levels of carbon dioxide through breathing.
Protection
Filtering Mechanisms: The nasal hairs, mucus, and cilia trap dust, pathogens, and other particles.
Reflexes: Coughing and sneezing expel irritants from the respiratory tract.
Sound Production
Vocal Cords: Air passing through the larynx vibrates the vocal cords to produce sound.
Olfaction (Sense of Smell)
Olfactory Receptors: Located in the nasal cavity, these receptors detect airborne chemicals.
Breathing Process
Inhalation (Inspiration)
Diaphragm and Intercostal Muscles: The diaphragm contracts and flattens, and the intercostal muscles lift the ribs, expanding the thoracic cavity and reducing pressure, drawing air in.
Exhalation (Expiration)
Relaxation of Muscles: The diaphragm and intercostal muscles relax, the thoracic cavity decreases in volume, increasing pressure and pushing air out.
Control of Breathing
Medulla Oblongata and Pons: These brainstem regions regulate the rate and depth of breathing.
Chemoreceptors: Located in the medulla, aorta, and carotid arteries, these receptors monitor levels of carbon dioxide, oxygen, and blood pH, and adjust breathing accordingly.

Homily: The Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity Sunday 2024.docxJames Knipper
Countless volumes have been written trying to explain the mystery of three persons in one true God, leaving us to resort to metaphors such as the three-leaf clover to try to comprehend the Divinity. Many of us grew up with the quintessential pyramidal Trinity structure of God at the top and Son and Spirit in opposite corners. But what if we looked at this ‘mystery’ from a different perspective? What if we shifted our language of God as a being towards the concept of God as love? What if we focused more on the relationship within the Trinity versus the persons of the Trinity? What if stopped looking at God as a noun…and instead considered God as a verb? Check it out…

In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.

4. Olfactory Nerves (Cranial Nerve I)
Olfactory bipolar receptor nerve cells
(In olfactory mucous membrane in upper part of the nasal cavity above the
level of the superior concha)
peripheral process that passes to the surface
( about 20 fiber bundles)
Short cilia /olfactory hairs
5. Tufted cells
• Mitral cell granular cells
synaptic glomeruli
• Enter cribriform plate of the ethmoid to join the olfactory bulb.
• fine central processes(unmyelinated) form the olfactory nerve
fibers
• Olfactory bipolar receptor nerve cells

10. • FIRST ORDER NEURON:
– From olfactory epithelium to glomerulus
• SECOND ORDER NEURON:
– The olfactory bulb. where the second neurons of the
olfactory pathway (mitral and tufted cells) are located.
– Is considered an extension of the telancephalon.
– The axons of these Second order neurons pass centrally
as the olfactory tract.
• THIRD ORDER NEURON:
– The prepiriform area (area 28) is considered the primary
olfactory cortex which contains the third order neurons.
11. OLFACTORY BULB
– is an elongated oval structure that lies just above the
cribriform plate.
– It is continuous posteriorly with the olfactory tract
through which it is connected to the base of the cerebral
hemisphere.
– The olfactory bulb and tract are not parts of PNS but
Instead constitute the extension of the telencephalon
this contains CNS-specific cell types (oligodendrocytes
and microglia).
– The olfactory bulb and tract share with the
telencephalon share a common meningeal covering.
12. OLFACTORY TRACT
When traced posteriorly the olfactory tract
divides into
– Medial
– Lateral olfactory striae
– Intermediate striais sometimes present.
• The point of bifurcation is expanded and
forms the olfactory trigone.
13. • Some of the axons of the olfactory tract run in the
lateral olfactory stria to the olfactory centers
amygdala, semilunar gyrus, and ambient gyrus.
• Other axons of the olfactory tract run in the medial
olfactory stria to the nuclei in the septal
(subcallosal) area which is part of the limbic system
and to the olfactory tubercle a small elevation in the
anterior perforated substance.
• other axons of the olfactory tract teminate in the
anterior olfactory nucleus where the fibres cross to
the opposite side branch off and relayed.
• This nucleus is located in the olfactory trigone,
which lies between the two olfactory striae in front
of the anterior perforated substance.
14. ANTERIOR PERFORATED SUBSTANCE:
• The olfactory striae are intimately related to a mass
of grey matter called the anterior perforated
substance.
• The medial and lateral striae form the anteromedial
and anterolateral boundaries of this substance.
• The intermediate stria extends into the anterior
perforated substance and ends in a slight elevation
(in the anterior part of the substance) called the
olfactory tubercle.
• Posterolaterally, the anterior perforated substance
is related to the uncus .
• while posteromedially it is bounded by a bundle of
fibres called the diagonal band (of Broca)
15.
16. The uncus
• Is a part of the cerebral hemisphere that lies on the
tentorial surface a little behind and medial to the
temporal pole.
• It represents the anterior end of the
parahippocampal gyrus and is separated from the
temporal pole by the rhinal sulcus.
• The uncus is subdivided into three parts. From
anterior to posterior side these are
– The uncinate gyrus,
– the tail of the dentate gyrus(band of Giacomini)
– The intralimbic gyrus
Entorhinal area (area 28):
– The anterior part of the parahippocampal gyrus, including
the uncus,
17.
18.
19. • When traced backwards the lateral olfactory stria reaches the
limen insulae (in the depth of the stem of the lateral sulcus).
• Here it bends sharply to the medial side and becomes
continuous with a small area of grey matter lying anterior to
the uncus and called the gyrus semilunaris (or
periamygdaloid area).
• The gyrus semilunaris is closely related to the amygdaloid
complex which lies deep (i.e., superior) to it.
• The lateral olfactory stria is covered by a thin layer of grey
matter called the lateral olfactory gyrus.
• When traced backwards this gyrus becomes continuous with
a part of the cortex called the gyrus ambiens.
• The gyrus ambiens lies lateral to the gyrus semilunaris.
• Posteriorly, it becomes continuous with the entorhinal area.
The lateral olfactory gyrus and the gyrus ambiens
collectively form the prepiriform region(or area).
23. • PRIMARY OLFACTORY CORTEX:
– The piriform cortex is considered the primary olfactory
cortex. The area most closely associated with identifying the
odor.
• The medial amygdala
– is involved in social functions such as mating and the
recognition of animals of the same species.
• The entorhinal cortex
– is associated with memory, e.g. to pair odors with proper
memories.
• The exact functions of these higher areas are a matter
of scientific research and debate.
• Olfactory information is processed in primitive areas of
the brain.
• Olfaction is the only sensation not directly processed
in the thalamus
24. • However indirectly the olfactory fibres from the
olfactory cortex pass to the neo cortex passes via
the thalamus terminating in the basal fore brain
25.
26. • The axons that run in the medullary striae of the
thalamus terminate in the habenular nuclei.
• This tract also continues to the brainstem. where it
stimulate salivation in response to smell.
29. SPECIAL FEATURES OF OLFACTORY
EPITHELIUM
• These neurons have a limited lifespan of up to several
months, but are continiously replenished from the pool
of precursor cells
• In the olfactory mucosa this undergo periodic mitosis.
• New olfactory receptors are thus generated throughout
adult life,
• and their axons enter the olfactory bulb to form new
synapses with existing CNS neurons.
• The regenerative capacity of the olfactory mucosa
gradually diminishes with advancing age.
• Resulting in net loss of receptors and a slow decline in
overall sensory function
32. Examination of olfactory nerve
• Examine each nostril separately while occluding
the other. With the patient's eyes closed and one
nostril occluded,
• bring the test substance near the open one. Ask
the patient to sniff and indicate whether she
smells something and,
• if so, to identify it. Repeat for the other nostril
and compare the two sides
33. Inference
• The perception of odor is more important than
accurate identification.
• Perceiving the presence of an odor indicates
continuity of the olfactory pathways.
• Identification of the odor indicates intact cortical
function as
• Since there is bilateral innervation, a lesion central to
the decussation of the olfactory pathways never causes
loss of smell,
• A lesion of the olfactory cortex does not produce
anosmia.
• The appreciation of the presence of a smell, even
without recognition, excludes anosmia.
34. Causes of Persistent Loss of Smell
• Smoking
• Chronic rhinitis
• Deviated nasal septum
• Nasal polyps
• Intranasal tumors (e.g., epidermoid carcinoma)
• Postviral
• General anesthesia
• Dental trauma
35. Causes of Persistent Loss of Smell
• Chemical burns of the olfactory epithelium
• Normal aging
• Pregnancy
• Congenital anosmia
• Chemotherapeutic agents
• Cadmium toxicity
• Antibiotics
• Antihistamines
36. Causes of Persistent Loss of Smell
• Olfactory groove meningioma
• Frontal lobe tumor, especially glioma
• Sellar/parasellar tumor
• Neuro-olfactory tumor
(esthesioneuroblastoma)
• Korsakoff's syndrome
• Vitamin deficiency (B6, B12, A) Zinc or copper
deficiency
38. Causes of Persistent Loss of Smell
• Refsum's syndrome
• Psychiatric conditions (depression, conversion
disorder, schizophrenia)
• Cocaine
• Levodopa
• Amphetamines
• Chronic sinus disease
• Radiation therapy
39. Terms and Definitions Related to
Olfactory Abnormalities
• Anosmia -No sense of smell
• Hyposmia -A decrease in the sense of smell
• Hyperosmia- An overly acute sense of smell
• Dysosmia -Impairment or defect in the sense of smell
• Parosmia -Perversion or distortion of smell
• Phantosmia -Perception of an odor that is not real
Presbyosmia Decrease in the sense of smell due to
aging
• Cacosmia- Inappropriately disagreeable odors
• Coprosmia -Cacosmia with a fecal scent
• Olfactory agnosia -Inability to identify or interpret
detected odors
40. • sphenoidal ridge meningioma
• consists of unilateral optic atrophy or papilledema
• exophthalmos,
• ipsilateral anosmia
• The Foster Kennedy syndrome
– classically due to a large tumour involving the
orbitofrontal region, such as an olfactory groove
meningioma.
• anosmia (direct compression)
• unilateral ipsilateral optic atrophy (direct compression)
• contralateral papilledema(d/t inc ICP)
• Pseudo-Foster Kennedy syndrome.
– This ophthalmologic picture, without the anosmia, is
more often due to anterior optic nerve ischemia,
sometimes termed the
41. • Kallmann's syndrome
– a hereditary disorder, usually X-linked,
• hypogonadism
• anosmia,( due to hypoplasia or aplasia of the olfactory bulbs and tracts.)
• Uncinate fits
• Complex partial or temporal lobe seizures preceded by an
olfactory or gustatory aura, usually disagreeable, and often
accompanied, as the patient loses awareness, by smacking of
the lips or chewing movements. Such attacks are typically due
to a seizure focus involving medial temporal lobe structures.
There is never objective loss of smell interictally.
