ANSWER: Yes, the human nose contains different types of glial cells. Glial cells are non-neuronal cells that provide support and protection for neurons in the nervous system. In the olfactory system, which is responsible for our sense of smell, there are two types of glial cells: olfactory ensheathing cells (OECs) and sustentacular cells. OECs are a type of glial cell that are found in the olfactory nerve and bulb, which are located in the nasal cavity. These cells provide support for the olfactory neurons and help to guide their axons (long projections that transmit signals) to the brain. OECs have been studied for their potential therapeutic use in spinal cord injuries, as they have the ability to promote nerve regeneration. S...
