The respiratory system of Uromastix consists of two main portions, viz., respiratory tract and respiratory organs. Respiratory Tract: The respiratory tract starts from the external nares. These are a pair of small oval apertures on the snout slightly above the mouth. On its inner side each naris possesses a prominent swelling of mucous membrane which serves as a valve to [...]
In Uromastix, the excretory and reproductive systems are closely associated as in other vertebrates. Therefore, the two systems are described together under the heading urinogenital system. The sexes are separate but the sexual dimorphism is not well developed. Excretory System: The excretory system is similar in both the sexes and consists of a pair of kidneys, a pair of ureters [...]
The nervous system in Uromastix is generally on the amphibian plan. Many differences in the plan of nervous system between the two groups are not apparent anatomically but reptiles, however, indicate a higher degree of nervous efficiency. One of the major differences is the absence of lateral line system in reptiles. The absence of this system has been fully compensated [...]
