Abstract
The olfactory mucosa of the mole has been studied with the electron microscope. Bipolar ciliated neurons, supporting and basal epithelial cells have been recognized and theirultrastructure described. Morphological differences of the various parts of the sensory neurons have been emphasized. The considerable number of organelles observed in supporting cells and the complexity of their free surface suggests a more active role for these cells than their name implies.Keywords
