Reptiles have a more complex heart than amphibians. Here's a brief comparison:

Amphibians (like frogs and toads):

  • Have a three-chambered heart: two atria and one ventricle
  • Oxygenated and deoxygenated blood mix in the ventricle
  • Less efficient oxygen delivery to body tissues

Reptiles (like snakes, lizards, and crocodiles):

  • Have a three- or four-chambered heart (depending on the species)
  • Three-chambered heart: two atria and one ventricle (similar to amphibians)
  • Four-chambered heart
