Vertebrate olfaction |
|
| Authors: | DMichael Stoddart |
| Abstract: | The sense of smell and sexual reproduction evolved alongside one another, and the olfactory system retains a simple structure. The olfactory membrane and the anterior pituitary are closely related embryologically and it is of little surprise to find the nose heavily committed in reproduction. Specialised odours are produced for a number of other purposes, however, from territorial demarcation to defence. |
