Question

Do crocodiles have a four-chambered heart?

Answer 1

The circulatory system in crocodiles:

1. Crocodiles are semiaquatic reptiles that are found in the tropic regions of Africa, Asia, America, and Australia.
2. They have a four-chambered heart which is divided into separate chambers that help prevent the mixing of oxygenated and deoxygenated blood.
3. Most reptiles only have a three-chambered heart (two atria and one ventricle). Crocodiles are an exception as they have a four-chambered heart (two atria and two ventricles).
4. They have a complicated blood circulation system as they spend most of their time underwater.
5. The four-chambered heart reduces the rate of circulation and prevents oxygen loss.
