What Are Vomeronasal Organs?

Vomeronasal organ VNO is a pair of blind capsules in front of the nasal cavity, which is a chemosensor that opens in the top wall of the mouth. Through research, scientists determined that the organ that senses pheromone is called vomeronasal organ, which is a cartilage structure located at the bottom of the nasal septum. At present, human pheromone has also been confirmed by the scientific community, but the organ that receives human external hormones has a high degree of degeneration. Only in the fetus and newborn, there is a clear vomeronasal structure.

"Sixth sense" has been the subject of controversy. Some people believe in the existence of "sixth sense", while others think it is nonsense. In addition, the scientific community has not named the " sixth sense " other than the " five senses ", and some people have proposed whether it can be called "olfactory-like" or "emotion" based on the characteristics of this feeling-directly affecting people's feelings, Emotional feeling, the foreign name is "

Scientists already know that sexual attraction and mating judgment are related to the human body

The organ was discovered by Dutch doctor Frederik Ruysch in 1703 while treating a soldier with a wounded face.

Danish anatomy Ludwig Levin Jacobson first described its anatomy in 1811. Almost at the same time, French naturalist Georges Cuvier published a paper. (It is worth mentioning: Ludwig Levin Jacobso is a student of Cuvier).

Swiss physics and anatomist Albert von Kölliker published a monograph on human Jacobson organs in Wurzburg, Germany in 1877. He was the first to provide histological proofs of human embryos and adult individuals in Jacobson organs.

The concept of Pheromon was introduced in 1950, a secretion that enables another animal to achieve a specific response through the olfactory system.

Im Jahre 1703 entdeckte Frederik Ruysch an einem verwundeten Soldaten bei der Versorgung seiner Gesichtsverletzung den Ductus vomeronasalis . Erstmals beschrieb der dänische Anatom Luzerswitzer zurer siegers germane zurer siege dass Ludwig Levin Jacobson ein Schüler von Cuvier war. Im Jahre 1877 wurde von Albert von Kölliker aus Würzburg eine Monographie mit dem Titel Ueber die Jacobsons´schen Organe des Menschen veröffentlicht. Von Kölliker war derach der Ersorin den, Vomeronasalorgans beim Menschen bemühte und er konnte diesen Beiweis histologisch sowohl bei menschlichen Embryonen als auch in adulten Indliduen erbringen.

Der Begriff Pheromon wurde im Jahre 1950 für eine abgesonderte Substanz eingeführt, die eine spezifische Reaktion über das olfaktorische System in einem anderen Tier hervorruft.
