How Jacobson’s Organ Influences a Dog’s Sense of Smell
Jacobson's organ, also known as the vomeronasal organ, is a small organ located in the nasal cavity of dogs and other animals. It is connected to the main olfactory system and is responsible for the detection of pheromones. Pheromones are chemical signals that are used to communicate between animals of the same species. They can be used to identify friends, enemies, and potential mates.
