| 1. | Baleen whales have a small, yet functional, vomeronasal organ.
|
| 2. | This phenomenon may prepare the vomeronasal organ for increased detection of pheromones.
|
| 3. | The vomeronasal organ of mammals is generally similar to that of reptiles.
|
| 4. | But no one knows why the vomeronasal organ should have two detection systems.
|
| 5. | Many vomeronasal neurons are activated by chemicals in urine.
|
| 6. | Behind these are an additional set of vomeronasal sacs.
|
| 7. | Cats detect nepetalactone through their olfactory epithelium, not through their vomeronasal organ.
|
| 8. | The ewe uses her vomeronasal organ for early recognition of her neonate lamb.
|
| 9. | This would allow pheromones to be more easily transferred to the vomeronasal organ.
|
| 10. | Vomeronasal receptors bind and are activated by pheromones such as androstenone and androstenol.
