1. The vomeronasal cartilage is J-shaped in cross-section.

2. Accessory olfactory bulb and vomeronasal organ of root vole is sexually dimorphic.

3. No report of terminal nerve and vomeronasal nerve in buffalo with anatomical description was found.

4. But our vomeronasal organ has apparently been rendered defunct by evolution, many scientists believe, though there's some uncertainty about this.

5. In contrast,() the mice without functioning vomeronasal organs appeared to be curious about the cotton balls and demonstrated few signs of fear.

6. Other studies have shown that vomeronasal organs in many animals detect pheromones and other molecules that pack information on sexual and social status.

7. The vomeronasal nerve of male and female buffalo on the nasal septum submucosa had been revealed different number of nervous fibers.

8. In contrast to normal mice, those without vomeronasal organs showed few signs of fear.

9. It is shown that the difference of the structure of vomeronasal system is related with environment and reproduction behavior in rodent.

10. So even though these mice can touch the rat and see it breathing, without the vomeronasal organ system mice don't respond fearfully.

11. When female mice come in contact with a male or his nest, they pick up the pheromone via a nose organ called the vomeronasal, where the pheromone binds to a specific protein receptor.

12. Many animals, including mice, rabbits and pigs, have a special organ called the vomeronasal organ (VNO).

13. A female records and remembers the scent of a mate's peptides using its vomeronasal organ, inside the nose.
