Practice Listening: Highlight Correct Summary ID: #33893 Short Snakes
Instructions
Snakes cannot hear or speak as we do. Rather, they communicate through chemical signals by means of the highly specialized vomer nasal organ VNO or Jacobson's Organ. The odiferous particles such as hormones or pheromones, which they pick up from their environment using their tongue, are sent to the VNO, in whose interior there are neurons in charge of transforming this chemical information into electrical impulses. The brain then takes care of interpreting these impulses and activating an internal function or a specific behavior in response to the original stimulus. Currently, it is known that other vertebrates have similar organs, but these have proven not being better or even at the same level of snakes VNO which has a unique ability for detecting and processing chemical information.
