Normal radiographic anatomy of the head of the green iguana in VD projection. A. Ventral view in a superficial plane of stratigraphic dissection (only skin was removed) of the head of an iguana. B. Ventral view of stratigraphic dissection after removal of Musculus constrictor colli and Musculus intermandibularis (lower part of the image) and a deeper plane of dissection (upper part of the image) of the head of an iguana (deeper plane of dissection is labelled with * on the image).
