A simplified anatomical diagram depicts the hollow maxillary tooth of a venomous snake, illustrating its venom delivery system within the oral cavity. The VG (venom gland; an exocrine gland) connects by a venom duct to the curved fang, which opens apically where a droplet of secretion is shown. In biological hierarchy, the tooth is part of the maxilla within the head of a reptile (suborder Serpentes). In comparative anatomy and physiology/herpetology, this apparatus enables envenomation for prey immobilization and defense.
