Olfactory Mucosa Stem Cell

Stem cells located in the olfactory epithelium, responsible for the continuous regeneration of olfactory receptor neurons.

Key Functions:

• Continuously regenerates olfactory receptor neurons.
• Maintains the sense of smell.
• Contributes to repair of olfactory epithelium.

Interacting Systems & Components:

• Olfactory Receptor Neuron (regenerates)
• Olfactory Bulb (receives input from regenerated neurons)
• Nervous System (supports olfaction)
• Stem Cell (type of)
