Cobras have a very complex nervous system with a brain that helps them process and comprehend what is going on in their surroundings. Cobras also have a sensory receptor called the Jacobson's organ, which picks up scent particles and then transmits then to the brain. It can be used to track prey.
This animal has no teeth teeth adapted for chewing, so they swallow an entire prey. Cobras use their poison tooth to inject preys with venom to start the digestive process. The venom is not produced by the poison tooth but in a poison gland located on the head of the animal. Its digestive system is like a long tube with a stomach, the small intestine, the large intestine and a cloaca.
Cobras, like other reptiles, use their lungs to obtain the oxygen that they need. They have a closed circulatory system (their blood moves through the body in blood vessels) with a three-chambered heart.
