Question

W hich of the following cell types are NOT found in the olfactory epithelium?
A) Sustentacular or supporting cells
B) Olfactory receptor cells
C) Basal or stem cells
D) Secreting cells
E) Parietal cells

Accepted Answer

Parietal cells are not found in the olfactory epithelium; they are located in the gastric glands of the stomach and are responsible for secreting hydrochloric acid. The olfactory epithelium contains sustentacular or supporting cells, olfactory receptor cells, basal or stem cells, and secreting cells (Bowman's glands), but not parietal cells.
