Anatomy of a Snake
Special thanks to the Microsoft Corporation for their contribution to our site. The following information came from Microsoft Encarta.
The internal organs of most vertebrate animals are packed together in a relatively restricted
abdominal cavity. In snakes, however, the internal organs are aligned in an extended linear body cavity
that is modified in response to the elongated vertebral column.
