The vomer is an unpaired bone plate that participates in the formation of the bony nasal septum. The lower edge of the vomer fuses with the nasal crests of the maxilla and palatine bone. The posterior edge of the vomer separates the choanae from each other. The anterior edge of the vomer is connected at the top with the perpendicular plate of the ethmoid bone, and at the bottom - with the cartilaginous nasal septum.
