“…This finding agrees well with previous reports on the mouse [28], rat [28,301, golden hamster [27,30], rabbit [28], bat [5], dog [3,17], cat [23], sheep [15], cattle [2,26], and horse [261. In general, the sensory cells of the VNO( are bipolar neurons, send their axons as the vomeronasal nerve to the accessory olfactory; bulb, and extend their dendrites equipped with microvilli to the lumen of the VNO [10,11,31].…”

“…The other features of the supporting cell agreed well with those of the other species [2,3,5,[15][16][17]21,23,[25][26][27][28]30]. Therefore, the supporting cells of the chinchilla seem to play an ordinary role to support the function of the sensory cells as in the other species.…”

“…Histologically, the lumen of the VNO was lined medially with the VSE, and laterally with the VRE as in the mouse [20,28], rat [7,28] , golden hamster [271, rabbit [281, house musk shrew [211, dog [3,17], cat [23], sheep [15] , cattle [2,26], horse [26] and some prosimians [161. The venous sinus was situated under the VRE and equipped with a well-developed smooth muscle layer to form the vomeronasal pump.…”

“…Phylogenetically, the VNO first appears in amphibians, is well developed in reptiles, but absent in birds [4,11,13,14]. In mammals, this organ varies in the development among species [12,14] , and is so far reported in rodents [7,20,27,28,301, rabbits [17,28], insectivores [211, carnivores [3,9,23] , bats [5], ungulates [2,9,15,26] and primates [16,19,24,251. Although rodents are used most frequently as experimental animals, fine structure of the VNO is hitherto examined only in the rat, mouse and golden hamster [7,20,27,28,30].…”

The vomeronasal neuroepithelium of the vampire bat, Desmodus rotundus, and the frugivorous bats, Carollia perspicillata and Artibeus jamaicensis, was examined at the light-microscopic and ultrastructural levels. The neuroepithelium of these species is basically similar in morphology to that of other mammals. However, hitherto unknown differences were noted in regard to the configuration of the apical poles of cells, in the occurrence of solitary cilia, dislocated sensory cells, brush cells, cell contacts and the occurrence and fine structure of basal cells. The morphology of the vomeronasal neuroepithelium of all three species is discussed from a comparative point of view in regard to chemoreception.

There is no report on the fine structure of three types of olfactory organs in Xenopus laevis. Their functional assignments in olfaction are not yet established. The fine structure of three types of olfactory organs, olfactory epithelium (OE), vomeronasal organ (VNO), and middle chamber epithelium (MCE), was examined in Xenopus laevis by light and electron microscopy. The olfactory cells of the OE and the sensory cells of the VNO were equipped with cilia and microvilli, respectively, similar to terrestrial animals that possess both the OE and the VNO. On the other hand, the sensory cells of the MCE were classified into two types, the sensory cells with cilia and the sensory cells with microvilli, like those of the OE in fish. These findings suggest that the OE and the VNO in Xenopus laevis detect different kinds of odoriferous molecules in air, whereas the MCE is involved in the perception of odorants in water.
