Please select an option Incorrect! The Jacobson's organ, or vomeronasal organ, is a sensory organ, but it is involved in chemoreception and not sound. WikiVet Article: Snake Special Senses. Incorrect! The Jacobson's organ, or vomeronasal organ, does not play a role in reproduction. It forms part of the chemosensory system in snakes which is analagous to 'taste' WikiVet Article: Snake Special Senses. Incorrect! The Jacobson's organ, or vomeronasal organ, is a snake 'special sense'. It forms part of the chemosensory system which is analagous to 'taste' WikiVet Article: Snake Special Senses. Incorrect! Also known as the vomeronasal organ, the Jacobson's organ forms part of the chemosensory system in snakes, not the endocrine system. Scent particles picked up from the surroundings by the tongue are conveyed to the palate, to pass up through a duct to the Jacobson's organ for 'tasting'.WikiVet Article: Snake Special Senses. Correct! Also known as the vomeronasal organ, the Jacobson's organ forms part of the chemosensory system in snakes which is analagous to 'taste' WikiVet Article: Snake Special Senses.

What are the gastrosteges of snakes?

Please select an option Correct! Gastrosteges are enlarged ventral scales on the body which aid locomotion. The number of gastrosteges may be used in snake identification WikiVet Article: Snake Skin. Incorrect! These cutaneous appendages are known as Hemepenes. Gastrosteges are enlarged ventral scales on the body which aid locomotion WikiVet Article: Snake Skin. Incorrect! Scales that cover the eyes are called spectacles (also ocular scale, eye cap and brille). Gastrosteges are the enlarged ventral scales on the body which aid locomotion WikiVet Article: Snake Skin. Incorrect! This snake dentition is known as solenoglyphous. Gastrosteges are enlarged ventral scales on the body which aid locomotion. The number of gastrosteges may be used in snake identification WikiVet Article: Snake Skin. Incorrect!
