The muscular fibres shine through the delicate skin as in australis, and the teeth on the jaws and vomer appear to be similar.
The chevron of the vomer projects from the roof of the mouth, and its surface is armed by minute teeth in about three or four densely crowded rows.
In some sunfishes there are three little patches, the vomer in the middle and the palatines on either side.
In some degraded types of fishes (eels, morays, congers) the premaxillary is indistinguishable, being united with the vomer and palatines.
The parasphenoid (13) forms a narrow ridge of the roof of the mouth, connecting the vomerwith the basioccipital.
Defn: Having the bones of the palate arranged as in saurians, the vomer consisting of two lateral halves, as in the woodpeckers.
Defn: Pertaining to the region of the vomer and the base of the ethmoid in the skull.
In the Axolotl they form a continuous series, the vomer and palatine being covered by teeth, but the pterygoid being without teeth.
Of these bones the vomer is never related to a cartilaginous tract below, while the palatines and pterygoids usually are so.
Amphibia; and there is also a dentigerous vomer which may fairly be considered as equivalent to that in Amphibia.
The second row of bones is clearly constituted in the Dipnoi and Amphibia by the vomer in front, then the palatine, and finally the pterygoid behind.
The vomer and palatine originate from the united osseous plates of the bases of the teeth, while the pterygoid is in the first instance continuous with the palatine.
Pertaining to the region of the vomer and the base of the ethmoid in the skull.
Having the bones of the palate arranged as in saurians, the vomer consisting of two lateral halves, as in the woodpeckers.
Dromaeognathae have a struthious palate, with a broad vomer meeting in front the broad maxillo-palatal plates, while behind it reaches the pterygoids.
This skull is unusually schizognathous, thevomer (v.
The hinder end of thevomer articulates with the end of the descending process of the prefrontal.
British Museum, I find that part of the vomer which is visible in the palate to be a rhomboidal plate, somewhat truncated anteriorly, and rather more than 1-1/2 inch long and 1 inch wide.
The boundary of the median nares is formed in equal proportions by the vomer and the palatine, and is opposite the fourteenth tooth.
The median nares are bounded entirely by the vomer and the maxilla.
In front of its junction with the maxilla, the horizontal plate of the vomer presents a long free edge, concave externally; and this bounds the median nares internally and posteriorly.
The true Dolphins also appear to show the same intervention of the vomer in a few cases.
In this genus, and in the nearly allied and also New-World Pudua, the vomer is prolonged backwards and divides the posterior nares into two.
The vomer is well developed, and the ethmo-turbinal always forms part of the boundary of the orbit.
In the large space between it and the vomer is the opening of the =posterior nares=.
There is no transpalatine bone and the vomer is unpaired.
The vomer is occasionally found persisting in two separate halves, a feature recalling the arrangement in Sauropsids.
The nasals are quite vestigial or absent, and the narial aperture is bounded above by the frontals; in its floor are seen the slender vomer and large mesethmoid.
The length of the secondary palate is remarkably great, and the vomer takes no part in its formation.
In front of the nasal openings the face is prolonged as a narrow beak or rostrum of varying length, formed by the maxillae and premaxillae surrounding the vomer and large mesethmoid (fig.
Immediately dorsal to the vomer is another median bone, the median ethmoid; this is truncated in front and tapers out behind into a process which fits into a groove on the ventral side of the frontal.
The face is drawn out into a long rostrum, formed of the maxillae and premaxillae surrounding the vomer and the mesethmoid cartilage.
Resting on the ventral surface are a vomer and a very large parasphenoid (fig.
In the Pig as in most Artiodactyla the face is bent sharply down on the basicranial axis, the commencement of the vomer being situated below the mesethmoid instead of in front of it as in most skulls.
The vomer is rarely fractured, although much callus is often thrown out in the displacements which occur between it and the cartilage.
In the septum fracture generally takes place in the quadrilateral cartilage, or displacement occurs at its junction with the vomer or superior maxilla.
Vomer at proximal end touching lower end of nasals, and nasal septum continued behind and above it as a low ridge, composed of the inner edges of the two nasal bones and reaching up to the nasal boss.
Orifice of anterior nares on a level with lower end of nasal boss, and vomer resting against anterior face of nasals, which latter have a median ridge continuing nasal septum, but with a slight vacuity between the two.
In the young Atlantic City skull of europaeus, the vomer is visible as a small, narrow, club-shaped piece, 68 mm.
Behind this point premaxillae strongly concave, nearly vertical and widely separated, forming a large and deep basin, in the bottom of which the vomer appears as a broad, irregular bony surface.
Proximal end of vomer resting against anterior face of nasals and reaching up to overhanging boss.
Vomer nearly all anchylosed to rostral portion of premaxillae; it presents a slight median elevation, but there is no mesirostral ossification.
An elongated, fusiform section of the vomer is visible on the inferior surface of the beak at the middle for a distance of 158 mm.
Proximal end of vomer anchylosed with anterior face of nasals and reaching up to nasal boss, which has a sharp median ridge completing nasal septum superiorly.
In the type-skull the form is the same as in the Atlantic City skull, but the vomer does not appear at all on the palate.
The vomer is deeply emarginate at the base of the skull posteriorly where it rests against the presphenoid.
The vomer is approximately U-shaped, when viewed from below.
The vomer has a thin anterior ridge that gradually disappears before it reaches the border of the premaxillary.
The broad medial part of the septo-maxillary forms the roof and anterior border of the cavity, whereas the anterior part of the vomer contains the main part of the capsule and forms the posterior and most of the lateral borders of the cavity.
The oblique division into vomer in front and pterygoid bone behind is shown by Goldfuss in his original figure of Scaphognathus.
Its position is indicated by a heavy black line in 4, and it is called, the vomer bone (vo.
How placoid scales may have given rise to these structures will be understood by considering such a bone as the vomer of the frog.
In the Lutianidæ there is no supplemental maxillary, teeth are present on the vomer and palatines, and in the jaws there are distinct canines.
The species of Lycodes, without spines in the dorsal, and with teeth on the vomer and palatines, are very abundant in the northern seas, extending into deep waters farther south.
The teeth on the vomer and tongue often disappear.
In Europe, where other species similarly colored occur, the species may be best distinguished by the fact that the teeth on the shaft of the vomer mostly disappear with age.
The vomer is flat, its shaft not depressed below the level of the head or chevron (the anterior end).
Technically this fish differs from the true charrs in having on its vomer a raised crest behind the chevron and free from the shaft.
Omitting the species with permanent teeth on the shaft of the vomer (subgenus Salar), he finds among the salmon proper only two species, Salmo salar and Salmo trutta.
The above list will hopefully give you a few useful examples demonstrating the appropriate usage of "vomer" in a variety of sentences. We hope that you will now be able to make sentences using this word.
