Development of the sensory epithelium of the vomeronasal organ in grass snake. a The beginning of developmental stage II. b The end of developmental stage II. The rounded projections to the surrounding mesenchymal tissue are visible (short black arrows). c The beginning of developmental stage IV. The rounded projections (short black arrows) are well visible. d The end of developmental stage IV. e The end of developmental stage VI. f Developmental stage XI. Stars indicate the level of extension of columns within the basal layer (d, e, f). Abbreviations: HB homogenous part of the basal layer, LV lumen of the vomeronasal organ, L1 basal layer, L2 central layer, L3 peripheral layer, MB mushroom body, NSE non-sensory epithelium.
