Both the olfactory and respiratory regions are rich in what?
Venous plexus aka Swell bodies - distended with blood.
37
What are the arrows pointed too and what regions are they found in? What is in them?
Swell bodies = venous plexuses Both olfactory and respiratory regions distended with blood.
38
Label A, B and G
