Abstract

The nasal opening of the NPD is bilateral and symmetrical, located at the base of the nasal septum. Unusually contradictory anatomical descriptions in the human putative VNO literature may be attributable to inexact descriptions or misidentification of structures. The function of NPD remains controversial.
