Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The vomeronasal organ, located in the nasal cavity, is responsible for detecting pheromones in many mammals, including humans. The epithelial cells and olfactory receptors also play a role in the detection of odors, but not specifically pheromones. The term "pheroreceptive" is not a commonly used term in relation to the nose or olfaction.
