    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cribriform_plate

    At the front part of the cribriform plate, on either side of the crista galli, is a small fissure that is occupied by a process of dura mater. Lateral to this fissure is a notch or foramen which transmits the nasociliary nerve ; from this notch a groove extends backward to the anterior ethmoidal foramen.

  3. Ethmoid bone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethmoid_bone

    The ethmoid has three parts: cribriform plate, ethmoidal labyrinth, and perpendicular plate. The cribriform plate forms the roof of the nasal cavity and also contributes to formation of the anterior cranial fossa, [4] the ethmoidal labyrinth consists of a large mass on either side of the perpendicular plate, and the perpendicular plate forms ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perpendicular_plate_of...

    The perpendicular plate of the ethmoid bone (vertical plate) is a thin, flattened lamina, polygonal in form, which descends from the under surface of the cribriform plate, and assists in forming the septum of the nose; it is generally deflected a little to one or other side. The anterior border articulates with the spine of the frontal bone and ...

    The anterior cranial fossa is a depression in the floor of the cranial base which houses the projecting frontal lobes of the brain. It is formed by the orbital plates of the frontal, the cribriform plate of the ethmoid, and the small wings and front part of the body of the sphenoid; it is limited behind by the posterior borders of the small wings of the sphenoid and by the anterior margin of ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olfactory_bulb

    In humans, however, the olfactory bulb is on the inferior (bottom) side of the brain. The olfactory bulb is supported and protected by the cribriform plate of the ethmoid bone, which in mammals separates it from the olfactory epithelium, and which is perforated by olfactory nerve axons. The bulb is divided into two distinct structures: the main ...
