Abstrakt: The present study was undertaken on vomeronasal organ in SVVU T-17 breed of domestic pig at different levels i.e., papilla incisiva, first palatine rugae, third palatine rugae and fifth palatine rugae. The vomeronasal organ consisted of an internal epithelial duct, middle propria submucosa and cartilage. At the level of papilla incisiva, it was lined by stratified squamous non-keratinized epithelium. At the level of first palatine rugae, stratified squamous non-keratinized epithelium to respiratory epithelium was seen. At the level of third palatine rugae, lateral and medial walls were lined by respiratory and olfactory epithelium, respectively. At the level of fifth palatine rugae, both the walls were lined by olfactory epithelium. The propria submucosa had dense connective tissue at the level of papilla incisiva whereas, loose connective tissue was observed at remaining levels with collagen, elastic and reticular fibres. Nerve bundles were observed at the level of third and fifth palatine rugae levels. The cartilage was incomplete dorsolaterally at papilla incisiva and first rugae level whereas, incomplete dorsally at remaining levels. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
