These results are consistent with previous studies describing the structural and metabolic specialization of the olfactory mucosa, which sustains (non‐motile) ciliary and mitochondrial activity for tissue renewal [ 56 ], essential for odorant detection and functioning of the olfactory system, and the immune and metabolic functions of the respiratory mucosa, highly significant for host defense [ 57 , 58 ].
