For a cobra that spits, what delivery method is utilized for envenomation via biting, as opposed to spitting?

The fangs are angled backward to hook and inject the venom.

The functional mechanics of venom delivery are fundamentally different depending on whether the cobra intends to bite or spit. For a standard envenomation that occurs through a bite, the fixed fangs located in the front of the upper jaw are angled backward. This specific backward orientation allows the fangs to securely hook into tissue, enabling the snake to inject its venom deeply into the target upon striking. This contrasts with spitting, where the modification allows the venom to be forced forward through a specialized aperture at the fang tip, rather than relying on the backward angle for subcutaneous penetration.
