Many animals, including mice, rabbits and pigs, have a special organ called the vomeronasal organ ( VNO ). 许多动物,包括老鼠、兔子和猪等,都有一个很特殊的器官,称之为犁鼻器。
So even though these mice can touch the rat and see it breathing, without the vomeronasal organ system mice don't respond fearfully. 所以纵使这些缺乏犁鼻器的小鼠能触碰到大鼠,看到它在呼吸,也并不害怕。
The olfactory organ and vomeronasal organ are the most important chemistry sense organs in anura. They play important roles in feeding, reproduction, predator avoidance and so on. 嗅器和犁鼻器是无尾两栖类最重要的嗅化学感受器,对觅食、繁殖及逃避敌害等方面有着重要的作用。
The main results are as follows : 1. The structure of accessory olfactory bulb and vomeronasal organ of Gansu zokor are similar to the root vole. 甘肃鼢鼠与根田鼠犁鼻器、副嗅球的结构相似。
