value: Órgano quimiorreceptor accesorio, separado de la mucosa olfatoria principal. Se encuentra en la base del tabique nasal, cerca del vómer y los huesos nasales. Reenvía señales químicas (como feromonas) al sistema nervioso central que inciden en el comportamiento reproductivo y social. En los humanos la mayoría de sus estructuras, excepto el conducto vomeronasal, sufre una regresión luego del nacimiento. @es
value: An accessory chemoreceptor organ that is separated from the main olfactory mucosa. It is situated at the base of nasal septum close to the vomer and nasal bones. It forwards chemical signals (such as pheromones) to the central nervous system, thus influencing reproductive and social behavior. In humans, most of its structures except the vomeronasal duct undergo regression after birth.
