Description
Summary:Animated 3D model of an arctic fox (Vulpes lagopus) skull featuring the cribriform plate and general nasal anatomy.The cribriform plate (red) model clearly displays the perforations, or foramina, through which axon bundles from olfactory sensory neurons pass en route to the olfactory bulb of the brain. Sensory neurons in the olfactory epithelium are located primarily on the ethmoturbinal (green) and nasoturbinal (yellow) bones. Maxillary turbinals, which carry respiratory epithelium are shown in blue. The arctic fox is not among the sample species but its model is used here because of its particular clarity. 3D models were constructed with Mimics and 3-matic software from high-resolution CT scans. Animations was constructed with ParaView software.
