Lizard Anatomy - Circulatory System

Lizards Home > Library > Anatomy
 

Lizards are quite unique in the fact that they are cold-blooded. Lizards need to regulate their body temperature through their external environment, as they do not have the biological means to do so internally. This is why you need to supply basking spots and ranges of temperatures when keeping pet lizards.

The ventricles in a lizards heart share oxygen back and forth in a constant exchange, but the division of the ventricles vary. However, the hearts atrium is always seperated into two chambers; left and right.
