Nasal organ. In Mammalia the general formation of the anterior and posterior nares is the same as in Birds; but an outgrowth from the inner side of the canal between the two openings arises at an early period; and becoming separate from the posterior nares and provided with a special opening into the mouth, forms the organ of Jacobson. The general relations of this organ when fully formed are shewn in Fig. 133. Fio. Section through the Nasal Cavitt and Jacobson's Organ. (From Gegenbaur.) sn. septum nasi; en. nasal cavity; J.
