Irritation of these areas may give rise to ren\exsymptoms. The mucous lining of the upper, or olfactory, areais not very vascular, and contains but a small number of serousglands. It is provided with an almost continuous layer ofbranched mucous glands, with ducts opening upon the surfaceof the membrane. Between the tessellated, columnar epithelialcells of this region are the delicate, spindle, olfactory cells ofSchultze, which ramify on the free surface. They are joined toa deeper, delicate nerve-plexus, and to the olfactory Fig. 3.—Spheno-palatine Ganglion. (From Sajous.) a, Sphenopalatine ganglion ; h, posterior area; c, middle area; d, anterior area; e, olfactory bulb. Destruction of these cells causes loss of smell, just as doessection of the olfactory bulbs or nerves. The olfactory nerve (special sense of smell) passes throughfrom fifteen to twenty perforations in the cribriform plate of theethmoid bone, and is then distributed to the superior turbinatedbody, to the upper part of the middle spongy bone, and to theupper third of the septum. The nasal branches of the spheno-palatine ganglion (sympathetic) are distributed to the lower edgeof the superior, the under surface of the middle, the entire in-ferior turbinateds, and to the middle and posterior parts of theseptum. The vidian passes to the superior spongy bone and to PHYSIOLOGY OF THE NOSE. 9 the superior and posterior portions of the septum. The nasalbranch of the fi
