Flehmen Response
- Some pheramones are less volatile and need to be detected by the vomeronasal organ.
- Bull,ram,stallion,some extent the boar.
- Male closely approaches the source of pheramones and will nuzzle the female genital region.
- Vomeronasal organ is an accessory olfactory organ.
- Connected to two small openings in the anterior roof of the mouth just behind the upper lip.
- Fluid-borne,less volatile chemicals enter the vomeronasal organ through the oral cavity by means of nasopalatine (incisive) ducts.
