Exempel på vomer

• A patch of almost 50 alveoli is present at the anterior extremity of the vomer.

• The dentigerous process of the vomer carries one tooth at most; it can be entirely toothless.

• The mouth is protrusible, with many slender, sharp teeth on the jaws, vomer, and palantines.

• A follow-up study of cleft children treated with vomer flap as part of a three-stage soft tissue surgical procedure.

• The teeth are reduced to small granular plates arranged in a quincunx on the jaws and vomer with the pointed tips pointing backward.

• The lacrimal duct, nasal bone, nasal cavity, vomer, maxillary sinus, cribriform plate, and ethmoid cells are often missing on the involved side.

• Teeth are absent on the vomer, the small bone in the roof of the mouth, and the tongue has two longitudinal ridges.

• Also, many percid fishes have a heart-shaped plate of teeth on the roof of the mouth (vomer).

• The human palatine articulates with six bones: the sphenoid, ethmoid, maxilla, inferior nasal concha, vomer and opposite palatine.

• The maxillae (upper jaws) are densely set with sharply pointed, somewhat recurved teeth, some of them also occurring on the vomer.

• All other extant birds have a narrow forked vomer that does not connect with other bones and is then termed as neognathous.

• Its posterior margin is connected with the perpendicular plate of the ethmoid; its inferior margin with the vomer and the palatine processes of the maxillae.

• Teeth on the vomer bones form a second parallel row on the palate that is not as extensive as the marginal tooth row.

• A vomer flap is a type of palatoplasty surgery that uses the mucoperiosteal tissue of the vomer to cover a unilateral or bilateral cleft palate.

• Another disadvantage of the use of the vomer flap in the oral cavity is that the vomer tissue does not aesthetically match the oral mucosa.
