What muscles do lizards use to breathe?
Lizards breathe in the same way as all vertebrates do, via lungs. However, while in motion, reptiles cannot breathe in the same manner that humans do. This is because their spines (backbones) move from side to side, instead of up and down. We refer to this respiratory system of reptiles as mediolateral undulation, as compared to humans whose spinal movement during motion is called dorsoventral undulation.
