Question

how do snakes respire​

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

In this picture of a DEADLY black mamba you can see the breathing tube at the bottom of the mouth .

They breathe through this opening just behind the tongue called the glottis, which opens into the trachea, or windpipe.Through this opening snakes take breathe .

Snakes don't have a diaphragm so they use muscles along their sides to expand and contract their lungs. Most snakes have only one main, functional lung to obtain oxygen.

When a snake is feeding on a large prey item it can also push its trachea (windpipe) off to the side so it can still breathe with a mouth full of food
