The cribriform plate is part of the ethmoid bone, which has a low density, and is spongy. [2] It is narrow, with deep grooves supporting the olfactory bulb.. Its anterior border, short and thick, articulates with the frontal 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 ...
The olfactory foramina, also known as the cribriform foramina (cribr- is "a sieve" in Greek), is the grouping of holes located on the cribriform plate.The cribriform plate forms the roof of the nasal cavity, and the olfactory foramina are in the two depressions lateral to the median blade of the cribriform plate called the crista galli.
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 olfactory bulb and the accessory olfactory bulb.
