Mammals
Mammals are endothermic animals,
which means they are able to generate
substantial body heat internally.

Most species are experts at maintaining a constant
body temperature. They have combinations of fur, hair,
and subcutaneous fat and sweat glands

Young mammals develop within the
mother for a time and then are born alive

A diaphragm and the fourchambered heart

The first mammals were small and
resembled tree shrews. They were
nocturnal out at night.

Three types of teeth: Incisors,
Canines & Molars

Carnivore Vs. Herbivore teeth

Rumen-chamber in the digestive tract that
contains bacteria that produce enzymes
which aid in breaking down cellulose
http://ag.ansc.purdue.edu/sheep/ansc442/semprojs/2003/feedlamb/mag1.htm
Food gets regurgitated as cud and
chewed again

Cecum- sac that aids in digestion
similar to a rumen
http://www.dicts.info/picture-dictionary.php?w=cecum
Respiratory muscles: chest
muscles and diaphragm
http://concept2.co.uk/training/breathing
Circulatory system transports
gases and nutrients to the rest of
the body
http://www.elateafrica.org/elate/biology/transportanimals/transportinanimalsintro.html
Kidneys are the most highly
developed of all invertebrates
http://open.jorum.ac.uk/xmlui/bitstream/handle/123456789/947/Items/S324_1_section8.html
Kidneys extract N from blood and
form urea. Also excrete and retain
liquid

The mammalian brain is more
highly developed than any other
animal’s brain
http://thebrain.mcgill.ca/flash/i/i_05/i_05_cr/i_05_cr_her/i_05_cr_her.html
3 main parts of brain: cerebrum (thinking and
learning), cerebellum (coordinates movement like
flight), medulla (regulates body functions like
breathing and heart rate)

Three senses of mammals: Sight,
Hearing, and smell
https://www.dana.org/news/brainhealth/detail.aspx?id=10064
Protection behaviors (horns and
hooves or just running)

Herbivore defense
Mammal movement: running,
climbing, flying, and swimming
(homologous structures)

Biologists link mammals to reptilians by
the ability of some mammals to lay
eggs (monotremes)
http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1084952112000699
Yolk Sac-nourishes the developing
embryo inside the marsupial’s
reproductive tract
http://9e.devbio.com/article.php?id=108
Marsupium-pouch on the mother
where the baby goes and nurses
for several months
http://www.whereincity.com/india-kids/animals/kangaroo.htm
Placenta-organ through which nutrients,
oxygen, carbon dioxide, and wastes are
exchanged between embryo and mother
http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/imagepages/17010.htm
Advantages of having placenta
• 1. Allows the embryo to develop for a
much longer time inside the mother
• 2. The mother is able to feed and still
protect the developing embryo
Gestation period-the time the
embryo is developing in the uterus
Long learning period and prolonged
childhood give mammals success
