... during characteristic rapid transitions in cardiac output associated with diving. For this hypothesis to be supported, atrial smooth muscle should be widely distributed in diving Testudines. To further understand the putative function and evolutionary significance of endocardial smooth muscle...

... through muscular contraction) may be correlated either to the phylogenetic history or the lifestyle of testudines. A correlation between PPS morphology and chelonian phylogeny and lifestyle seems fundamental to understanding the evolution of this structure within this taxon. In conclusion, the present...
