Evolutionary and comparative anatomical investigations of the autonomic cardiac nervous system in the African Cercopithecidae.

abstract：:A new morphological type of somatosensory organ is described. It is found in the glabrous skin of the dog nose (rhinarium or planum nasale) and situated in dermis papillae. The otherwise thick epidermis forms a thin window above the organ. There are only a few layers of keratinocytes in the window and the corneocytes ...
