Comparative Heart

1) The document compares the key features of the heart in different vertebrate types, including dogfish, frogs, lizards, pigeons, and rabbits. 2) Features compared include location in the body, chambers, size, shape, color, openings for blood flow, and presence or absence of structures like the sinus venosus. 3) While there is variation, all the vertebrate hearts described have at least one auricle and one ventricle and are adapted to circulate blood through the body.
