Abstract |
Sacalia quadriocellata In this paper, eight adult Four Eye spotted Turtles were dissected. Th e results are as follows: the length of the whole digestive tract is 604 3±9 9 2 mm, 3 75-5 77 times as long as that of the carapace. The tongue is fixed and the saclike stomach is covered with the left lobe of the liver. The small intestine is the main part of the digestive tract. The caecum is not well developed. The large liver, weighed 14.12±8.24 g, is divided into the left, the middle and th e right lobe in which the green pearlike gall bladder is embedded. The pancreas i s long and narrow, bound with the mesentery to the anterior edge of the duodenum . The saclike lungs are situated in dorsal part of the coelom, extending from th e pectoral girdle to the pelvic girdle, and covered with peritoneum on the ventra l surface. The trachea is long with 65-85 cartilage rings, while the bronchies are short with 30-40 cartilage rings.
