rhinarium

The rhinarium is often associated with a stronger sense of olfaction.

In many animals the form and purpose of the rhinarium remains to be elucidated.

The rhinarium continues down where it divides the upper lip.

Anatomically the rhinarium is certainly part of the olfactory system.

In the second week, the rhinarium becomes distinctive and heavily pigmented.

The animal gets its name from the hairs that cover its rhinarium.

The rhinarium is surrounded by vibrissae that are also sensitive to touch.

As a result, the snout became reduced and the rhinarium or "wet nose" was lost.

The rhinarium is flat and, at most, only barely reaches the dorsal side of the nose.

Notice the forward facing eyes and moist nose (rhinarium).

The rhinarium is very useful to animals with good sense of smell because it acts as a wind direction detector.

The wet nose, or rhinarium, is essential for determining the direction of the air current containing the smell.

Strepsirrhines are defined by their wet nose or rhinarium.

Most commonly, the defect involves the lip, rhinarium, and premaxilla.

In mammals that root, the rhinarium often develops into a hard pad, with the nostrils off to the side.

As such, the structure of the rhinarium is assumed to be important in the evolution of exploratory behaviour.

The head is wide and flat with a blunt muzzle and broad rhinarium.

The rhinarium (the leathery bit of nose we see) is quite tough to allow it to absorb rather rough treatment sometimes.

Generally speaking, the rhinarium is present in most mammals and is associated with a heightened sense of smell.

The rhinarium was eventually lost in higher primates because of the decreasing reliance for olfaction.

It has a rhinarium (the moist, naked surface around the nostrils of the nose) and a broad, flat face with large eyes.

The rhinarium is adapted for different purposes in different mammals according to ecological niche.

The rhinarium is bare, with an obtuse, triangular projection.

The nose (or rhinarium) is completely covered in fur, with only the two slit-like nostrils visible.

The nose is pointed cone shape and the rhinarium is black and naked.
