Sea Turtle Health Issues: Common Diseases and Pathologies Illustrated #1951128 (License: Personal Use)

The image presents a comprehensive anatomical cross-section of a sea turtle highlighting six key pathological conditions: bone lesions visible in an X-ray inset, internal parasites near the liver, pneumonia in the lungs, inflamed intestines, sand accumulation in the stomach, and a prolapsed cloaca. Each condition is clearly labeled with magnified insets for clinical clarity, supporting veterinary diagnosis and conservation education.

Used in marine biology, veterinary medicine, and wildlife conservation resources to educate professionals and the public about common sea turtle illnesses, often accompanying articles on stranding response, rehabilitation protocols, or anthropogenic threats like plastic/sand ingestion.
