The olfactory epithelium contains three main cell types: basal cells, olfactory receptor neurons, and sustentacular cells. Basal cells act as stem cells and have the ability to regenerate new olfactory receptor neurons throughout life. Olfactory receptor neurons detect odor molecules and transmit signals through the cribriform plate to the olfactory bulb. Sustentacular cells provide structural and metabolic support to the receptor neurons. This specialized epithelium allows the sense of smell to function and recover even after minor injury.
