@dordor1717 Thank you for the suggestion. We do ask, and require, that an MCAT-specific source citation be included with any and all content-related suggestions, in order to streamline the process of suggestions and deck maintenance. More information can be found here: AnKing MCAT Deck Submission Guidelines
Please let me know if you have any other questions.
I believe the suggestion is actually correct where the olfactory receptor neurons (located in the olfactory epithelium) send their axons through the cribriform plate, where they then synapse on the olfactory bulb. This idea is also actually supported by another card in the deck:
The olfactory bulb contains thousands of {{c1::glomeruli}} where synapses form between the {{c2::terminals of the olfactory nerve }} and the {{c2::dendrites of mitral , periglomerular and tufted cells }}.
Note: The axons of olfactory receptor neurons, which are located in the olfactory epithelium, form the olfactory nerve.
Unfortunately, we have this Khan Academy video which directly supports the current version.
3:14So again, olfaction, olfactory bulb,
3:17and the olfactory bulb is basically
3:19a bundle of nerves so it’s actually
3:21one of the cranial nerves that exits the brain
3:23and so this bundle of nerves sends
3:26little projections through the cribriform plate
3:29into the olfactory epithelium.
3:34So this projection of nerves
•Current transcript segment:3:38breaks off and branches off
3:40and there are thousands and thousands of cells
3:44sending little connections
3:45into the olfactory epithelium.
