Secondary Folds Contribute Significantly to the Total Surface Area in the Olfactory Organ of Chondrichthyes
The olfactory organ of Chondrichthyes is characterized by a central support with several lamellae covered by a sensory olfactory epithelium. Although secondary folds are present on the lamellae in all the chondrichthyan species analyzed to date, their shape and size have not been described. We here...
