It is mainly described in the rodents and found as a part of the accessory olfactory system. It has been shown to consist of specialized olfactory sensory cells, which function in perception of pheromones. With a large number of literature on the human VNO, there is little concensus of its persistence and functionality in human. During a routine dissection of nasal cavity, we recognized a one-sided vomeronasal pit in one of the six fresh-frozen cadavers (17 %) and described the position and structure of this rare structure morphologically. <br />The present study summarizes the literature about the VNO and describes its structural and functional findings.</p>}, number={3}, journal={Acta Medica}, author={Fırat, Ayşegül and Önerci Çelebi, Özlem and Hayran, Hatice Mürvet}, year={2022}, month={Jun.}, pages={213–218} }
