Hints & Solutions
(d) Bowman’s glands are found in olfactory epithelium which secrete mucus to keep the olfactory epithelium moist and free from germs. Smell detects volatile chemicals in the inhaled air, and taste detects dissolved chemicals in food and drink. Olfactory receptor cells have long cilia that protrude into a mucus layer that is secreted by Bowman’s glands in the olfactory epithelium.
