Microcebus murinus

Fig. 2.11 (a) Dissection of VNC — Mouse Lemur (Microcebus murinus). Cl-C3 = Para-septal cartilage bars LV = ventral vein NC = arterioles/capillary network SV = dorsal vein and VNw = ventral wall (from Schilling, 1970). Vomeronasal complex in murine Rodents. Comparison of LS with TS in Rat (b) LS (horizontal). VV = vascular sinus arrow = venous diverticulum = VN lumen and NE = neuroepithelium (from Larriva-Sahd, 1994). (c) TS (coronal). G = glands RFE = non-sensory epithelium (from Mendoza, 1993). 

PI. 2.4 Bulbar layers horizontal section of MOB + AOB (outlined) in Mouse Lemur (Microcebus murinus). g = Glomerular m = Mitral and gr = Granular layers (courtesy of Alain Schilling ).
