olfactory nerve in dogs

Nerve that carries information from the olfactory epithelium to the olfactory bulb[Butler and Hodos]. Every claim on this page comes from the Leumas anatomy graph and carries its source.

What the olfactory nerve is

Nerve that carries information from the olfactory epithelium to the olfactory bulb[Butler and Hodos]. The atlas records it as a nerve at the organ scale in the dog.

Where the olfactory nerve is

It sits in the head, within the nervous system. Only the region is known. The position shown is somewhere plausible inside it and nothing more.

What the olfactory nerve connects to

The atlas records 4 typed relationships for it, across 3 kinds of connection. a kind of anatomical structure and cranial nerve.

Supply and innervation

This dataset asserts no arterial supply, venous drainage or innervation for the olfactory nerve. Only a minority of structures carry those edges here, so an empty answer means nothing has been recorded — not that there is nothing to record.

Also called

Also recorded as 1n, first cranial nerve, nervus olfactorius [i], olfactory I, olfactory i nerve and olfactory nerve [I], and 8 more. Searching any of those names reaches this page.
