The vomer (/ ˈ v oʊ m ər /; [1] [2] Latin: vomer, lit. 'ploughshare') is one of the unpaired facial bones of the skull . It is located in the midsagittal line, and articulates with the sphenoid , the ethmoid , the left and right palatine bones, and the left and right maxillary bones.
The name is derived from the fact that it lies adjacent to the unpaired vomer bone (from Latin vomer 'plowshare', for its shape) in the nasal septum. It is present and functional in all snakes and lizards, and in many mammals, including cats, dogs, cattle, pigs, and some primates.
