Two atria and one ventricle make up the three-chambered heart of a snake. The right and left atria receive blood from the lungs and body, respectively, and pass it to the ventricle to be circulated again. Encased in a sac, called the "pericardium," the heart is located at the bifurcation of the bronchi. The heart is able to move around, however, due to the lack of a diaphragm. This adjustment protects the heart from potential damage when large ingested prey is passed through the esophagus. The spleen is attached to the gall bladder and pancreas and functions to filter the blood and recycle old red blood cells. The thymus gland is located in fatty tissue above the heart and is responsible for the maturation of special immune cells in the blood.
