| 31. | Like all monitors, the Argus has a forked tongue and a vomeronasal organ in the roof of its mouth.
|
| 32. | This protein family includes metabotropic glutamate receptors, the extracellular calcium-sensing receptors, the vomeronasal type-2 receptors
|
| 33. | Correspondingly, the reduction of vomeronasal receptor genes is often attributed to the transition of tetrapods from water to land.
|
| 34. | Scientists have long wondered whether human behavior, too, is influenced by pheromones, because people possess a vomeronasal organ.
|
| 35. | The vomeronasal organ is mainly used to detect pheromones, chemical messengers that carry information between individuals of the same species.
|
| 36. | The vomeronasal organ and the main olfactory epithelium, together called the olfactory system, detect pheromones from the opposite sex.
|
| 37. | Three distinct families of putative pheromone receptors have been identified in the vomeronasal organ ( V1Rs, V2Rs and V3Rs ).
|
| 38. | Except the hartebeest and the topi, all bovids can detect estrus in females by testing the urine using the vomeronasal organ.
|
| 39. | Chemical communication does appear to occur among humans, but this does not necessarily imply that the human vomeronasal organ is functional.
|
| 40. | The vomeronasal organ s sensory neurons act on a different signaling pathway than that of the main olfactory system s sensory neurons.
