Vomeronasal Organ
Also known as: Jacobson’s Organ; Pheromone Receptors; VNO
Description
The Vomeronasal Organ is an organ of the body that consists of a small pit in the Nasal Septum, which is barely visible to the naked Eye. It is connected (via Nerves) to the Hypothalamus (and therefore the body’s Limbic System).
Biological Function of the Vomeronasal Organ
Sexual System
The Vomeronasal Organ is responsible for “detecting” human Pheromones - when stimulated by these Pheromones, the “detector” increases their Sexual Desire (this increase in Sexual Desire is directed towards the “secretor” of Pheromones). [1]
