Descriptive Histology and Anatomy of the Nasal Cavity and Its Associated Sensory Organs in the European Hedgehog (Erinaceus europaeus) Based on Four Standardised Transverse Sections. [PDF]
Anat Histol EmbryolABSTRACT The nasal cavity of European hedgehogs (Erinaceus europaeus) harbours a well‐developed olfactory system, essential for food provision and communication. Additionally, it acts as a first line of defence by preventing pathogens and irritants from reaching the lungs, thereby playing an important physiological role.
