| 21. | Mice detect pheromones mainly with the vomeronasal organ ( Jacobson's organ ), located at the bottom of the nose.
|
| 22. | This suggests that the vomeronasal organ plays an active role in maternal identification of the lamb at the udder
|
| 23. | The vomeronasal organ and the main olfactory epithelium, together called the olfactory system, detect pheromones from the opposite sex.
|
| 24. | Like all monitors, the Argus has a forked tongue and a vomeronasal organ in the roof of its mouth.
|
| 25. | One group was allowed to sniff synthesized pheromones that are said to act on the vomeronasal organ in the nose.
|
| 26. | In the mouse's vomeronasal organ, there are 100 genes serving one family of receptors and 140 genes in the other.
|
| 27. | Three distinct families of putative pheromone receptors have been identified in the vomeronasal organ ( V1Rs, V2Rs and V3Rs ).
|
| 28. | The vomeronasal organ is mainly used to detect pheromones, chemical messengers that carry information between individuals of the same species.
|
| 29. | Except the hartebeest and the topi, all bovids can detect estrus in females by testing the urine using the vomeronasal organ.
|
| 30. | Chemical communication does appear to occur among humans, but this does not necessarily imply that the human vomeronasal organ is functional.
