Venomous snake

A snake that delivers venom through specialized teeth, usually to subdue prey and sometimes in defense. Its venom can disrupt processes such as blood clotting, nerve signaling, or tissue integrity.

Snake venom: A mixture of biologically active compounds produced by snakes and delivered through a bite. Venom is the chemical payload that makes the bite effective.
Snake: An elongated, limbless reptile belonging to the suborder Serpentes. Venomous snakes are a subset of the diverse snake lineage.
Snakebite envenoming: A potentially life-threatening condition caused by venom injected during a snakebite. This is the medical consequence when a bite delivers a significant dose of venom.
King cobra: A large Asian elapid snake that specializes in eating other snakes. Its neurotoxic venom and prey specialization illustrate one distinctive venomous-snake ecology.
Fang: An enlarged tooth adapted to puncture tissue and, in venomous snakes, deliver venom. Fangs provide the specialized route from venom glands into a target.
Snake dentition: The arrangement and types of teeth in a snake's jaws. Tooth arrangement determines how venom-delivering fangs sit and function.
Snake antivenom: An antibody-based medicine designed to neutralize toxins in snake venom. It is a specific treatment for envenoming by venomous snakes.
Black mamba: A fast-moving African elapid snake whose venom can cause severe neurotoxic effects. It is a well-known example of a snake with potent, rapidly acting venom.
Venom gland: A gland that produces or stores venom and connects to a delivery apparatus. It supplies venom to the ducts and fangs during a bite.
Venom evolution: The evolutionary origins and diversification of venom systems in animals. It explains how venom and its delivery structures arose in snake lineages.
