In most reptiles, the ventricle* is partially divided. This reduces mixing of oxygenated and unoxygenated blood in the ventricle.

* = a.either of the two lower chambers on each side of theheart that receive blood from the atria and in turn forceit into the arteries. b.one of a series of connecting cavities of the brain.

What is the difference between a mammal and a reptile heart?

One key difference is that mammal hearts have four chambers (two atria and two ventricles) while reptile hearts typically have three chambers (two atria and one ventricle). Mammals have a double circulatory system (systemic and pulmonary circulation) while reptiles have a single circulatory system.


What is the Reptiles respiratory system?

Reptile respiratory system is similar to ours, they have lungs, heart, nasal passages and circulatory system like we do. In the case of snakes the lungs are very long and staggered (two) so they can breathe easier when swallowing prey larger than them selves.


Animals that use lungs for breathing have this type of circulatory system?

Animals that breathe using lungs have a pulmonary circulatory system. In this system, the lungs are dependent on the flow of blood from the systemic circulatory system, which works in tandem with the pulmonary system to provide blood flow to these vital organs.


How do insects move and fly actively despite the type of circulatory system they have?

Even if insects have an open circulatory system, which is usually characterized by slow animals with low metabolic rates, their circulatory system does not participate in supplication of oxygen to the tissues and in the gas exchange process. That is handled by the independent tracheal system, the spiracles, which allows direct contact of cells with the air. With this, the oxygen demand can be supplied even with an open circulatory system.source: http://www.biology-questions-and-answers.com/the-circulatory-system.html
