Answer:

Tortoises, because of fusion of ribs with the shell do not breathe by this means. ... The tortoise's heart will often continue to beat even in death so cardiac stimulation is usually not necessary (it would be almost impossible because of the shell but one may strike the shell, to shock the heart into action if necessary).
