## Abstract Tetrapods have two distinct nasal chemosensory systems, the main olfactory system and the vomeronasal system (VNS). Defined by certain morphological components, the main olfactory system is present in all groups of vertebrates, while the VNS is found only in tetrapods. Previous attempts
Pattern formation of the developing vertebrate limb is mainly controlled by the zone of polarizing activity (ZPA) and the apical ectodermal ridge (AER) which may act as sources of diffusing morphogens. These sources are tightly interconnected and maintained by positive feedback and, together with th
