In others, as for instance crocodiles and lizards, properly so called, and serpents, the heart consists of one ventricle with two auricles. The account which Cuvier gives of the anatomy of the heart in the amphibia, does not exactly accord with that of the author. Cuvier describes and delineates the heart of the crocodile as being formed nearly like that of the turtle (tom. 5, pl. 46); he says that the iguana has a similar structure, and that it obtains likewise in the serpents (tom. v. p. 221-225). He does not mention the more simple form as existing in any lizard or serpent. 165. The structure of this part is very different in the turtle; and has given rise to more controversy than that of any order of animals. The heart of this animal possesses two auricles, which are separated by a complete septum, like those of warm-blooded animals, and receive their blood in the same manner as in those animals; viz. the two venae cavae terminate in the right auricle, the pulmonary veins in the left. Each pours its blood into the corresponding ventricle, of which cavities there are two; thus the structure of the heart hitherto resembles that of mammalia. A remarkable difference exists in the structure of the auricles between the testudo caretta and mydas, both of whose hearts now lie before me. The auricles of the former are ...We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
