Romulans share a great deal of their physiology with Vulcans, notably their green copper-based blood and | As a Vulcanoid species, Romulans share a great deal of their physiology with Vulcans, notably their green copper-based blood and the arrangement of their internal organs, notably that their heart is located the lower right of the chest, where the liver is found in humans. Similarly, they possess 2-3 times the strength of a human of the same build and muscle mass. | ||
Despite their physiological similarities, Vulcans and Romulans are different enough to be distinguished by a tricorder scan, albeit with difficulty. Methods used to treat Vulcans may also be ineffective on Romulans, and they suffer from some unique diseases such as the Terothka virus. The average Romulan lifespan is longer than that of a Vulcan, and similar to [[Rodulan|Rodulans]] they can reach the age of 350-375. | |||
