QUÉ SIGNIFICA CONSTRICT EN INGLÉS

Constricción

Constriction

La constricción es un método utilizado por varias especies de serpientes para matar a sus presas. Aunque algunas especies de serpientes venenosas y levemente venenosas usan constricción para someter a sus presas, la mayoría de las serpientes que usan constricción carecen de veneno. La serpiente inicialmente golpea a su presa y se aferra, tirando de la presa en sus espiras o, en el caso de presa muy grande, tirando de sí misma sobre la presa. La serpiente entonces envolverá una o dos bobinas alrededor de la presa. Las serpientes luego vigilan el corazón de la presa para averiguar cuándo está muerto. Una Boa Arco Iris que se contrae y traga un ratón Contrariamente al mito, la serpiente no aplastar a la presa, ni siquiera romper sus huesos. Se acepta generalmente que las serpientes se sostienen firmemente bastante para evitar que la presa dibuje el aire en sus pulmones, dando por resultado muerte de la asfixia. También se ha sugerido que la presión de constricción provoca un aumento de la presión en la cavidad corporal de la presa mayor que el corazón puede contrarrestar, dando lugar a un paro cardiaco inmediato. Esta nueva hipótesis aún no se ha confirmado, pero los datos indican que las serpientes pueden ejercer suficiente presión para que este mecanismo sea plausible.

Constriction is a method used by various snake species to kill their prey. Although some species of venomous and mildly venomous snakes do use constriction to subdue their prey, most snakes which use constriction lack venom. The snake initially strikes at its prey and holds on, pulling the prey into its coils or, in the case of very large prey, pulling itself onto the prey. The snake will then wrap one or two coils around the prey. The snakes then monitor the prey's heartbeart to ascertain when it's dead. A Rainbow Boa constricting and swallowing a mouse Contrary to myth, the snake does not crush the prey, or even break its bones. It is generally accepted that snakes hold tightly enough to prevent the prey from drawing air into its lungs, resulting in death from asphyxia. It has also been suggested that the pressure of constriction causes a rise in the pressure in the prey's body cavity greater than the heart can counter, resulting in immediate cardiac arrest. This new hypothesis has yet to be confirmed, but data indicates that snakes can exert enough pressure for this mechanism to be plausible.
