The nuclei of these cells are oval and con- stitute the outermost zone of nuclei in the epithelium. Their proximal portions are more or less irregularly compressed and branched, hence the outlines of these parts are commonly jagged. The basal cells form a single row of block-like elements on the proximal face of the olfactory epithelium. Their short branching processes extend distally among the other cells of the epithelium. The olfactory cells are the most numerous of the three classes of cells in the epithelium. Their nuclei are roundish with well marked nucleoli and form the extensive nucle- ated band between the distal zone of sustentacular nuclei.
