Abstract in brief

The vomeronasal organ (VNO), also known as Jacobson’s organ, is a tube located in the roof of the nasal cavity that plays a key role in detecting sexual odors (pheromones), especially in male camels.
In Iranian camels (Camelus dromedarius persicus), the study measured the VNO's size, finding it about 15.6 cm long, with its width decreasing from front to back. The VNO is surrounded by hyaline cartilage, and its lining includes both respiratory and olfactory epithelium, indicating its function in smell perception related to reproductive behavior.
Histologically, the VNO has glandular tissues and a cavernous connective tissue structure, with the olfactory epithelium mainly on the medial wall, supporting its role in pheromone detection and initiating sexual behaviors.]
