| vomeral groove | The groove on the anterior border of the vomer that receives the septal cartilage. Synonym: sulcus vomeralis, sulcus vomeris, vomeral sulcus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| vomeral sulcus | The groove on the anterior border of the vomer that receives the septal cartilage. Synonym: sulcus vomeralis, sulcus vomeris, vomeral sulcus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| vomerine | Relating to the vomer. (05 Mar 2000) |
| vomerine canal | An opening between the vaginal process of the sphenoid and the ala of the vomer on either side. It conveys a branch of the sphenopalatine artery. Synonym: canalis vomerovaginalis, basipharyngeal canal, vomerine canal. (05 Mar 2000) |
| vomerine cartilage | A narrow strip of cartilage located between the lower edge of the cartilage of the nasal septum and the vomer. Synonym: Jacobson's cartilage, paraseptal cartilage, vomer cartilagineus, vomerine cartilage, vomeronasal cartilage. (05 Mar 2000) |
| vomerobasilar | Relating to the vomer and the base of the skull. (05 Mar 2000) |
| vomerobasilar canal | A small canal between the superior border of the vomer and the rostrum of the sphenoidal bone. Synonym: canalis vomerorostralis, vomerobasilar canal. (05 Mar 2000) |
| vomeronasal | Relating to the vomer and the nasal bone. (05 Mar 2000) |
| vomeronasal organ | A specialised part of the olfactory system located anteriorly in the nasal cavity within the nasal septum. Chemosensitive cells of the vomeronasal organ project via the vomeronasal nerve to the accessory olfactory bulb. The primary function of this organ appears to be in sensing pheromones which regulate reproductive and other social behaviours. While the structure has been thought absent in higher primate adults, data now suggests it may be present in adult humans. (12 Dec 1998) |
| vomerorostral canal | A small canal between the superior border of the vomer and the rostrum of the sphenoidal bone. Synonym: canalis vomerorostralis, vomerobasilar canal. (05 Mar 2000) |
| vomerovaginal canal | An opening between the vaginal process of the sphenoid and the ala of the vomer on either side. It conveys a branch of the sphenopalatine artery. Synonym: canalis vomerovaginalis, basipharyngeal canal, vomerine canal. (05 Mar 2000) |
| vomerovaginal groove | A sulcus on the inferior aspect of the vaginal process of the sphenoid bone that, together with ala of the vomer, forms the vomerovaginal canal. Synonym: sulcus vomerovaginalis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| wing of vomer | An everted lip on either side of the upper border of the vomer, between which fits the rostrum of the sphenoid bone. Synonym: ala vomeris. (05 Mar 2000) |

| vomeronasal organ |
The vomeronasal organ (VNO) or Jacobson's organ (sometimes misspelled "Jacobsen's") is an auxiliary olfactory sense organ in some vertebrates, all of which are tetrapods. It is located in the vomer bone, between the nose and the mouth. The sensory neurons within the vomeronasal organ detect distinct chemical compounds, usually large molecules. Snakes use it to smell prey, sticking their tongue out and touching it to the opening to the organ. ...
