Chapter 30 Mammals

Section 1: Mammalian Characteristics

Section 2: Diversity of Mammals

Hair and Mammary Glands

Two characteristics that distinguish members of class Mammalia from other vertebrate animals are hair and mammary glands.

Other Characteristics

Endothermy

Mammals

Source of body heat is internal.

Heat is produced by a high metabolic rate.

Body temperature is regulated by internal feedback mechanisms.

30.1 Mammalian Characteristics

Chapter 30

Feeding and Digestion

Daily intake of food is used to generate heat to maintain a constant body temperature.

Teeth

Reveal the life habits of a mammal

Mammals

Carnivores use canines to stab and premolars to slice and shear meat.

Incisors of insectivores are long and curved, functioning as pincers in seizing insect prey.

30.1 Mammalian Characteristics

Excretion

Kidneys excrete or retain the proper amount of water in body fluids.

Mammals

Enables mammals to live in extreme environments

30.1 Mammalian Characteristics

Mammals

Respiration

High levels of oxygen are required to maintain a high level of metabolism.

Mammals

Mammals are the only animals that have a diaphragm.

30.1 Mammalian Characteristics

Chapter 30

Circulation

Mammals require a consistent supply of nutrients and oxygen to maintain homeostasis.

Mammals

Keeping oxygenated and deoxygenated blood separate makes the delivery of nutrients and oxygen more efficient.

30.1 Mammalian Characteristics

Chapter 30

The Brain and Senses Mammals have highly developed brains.

Mammals

Cerebral cortex is responsible for coordinating conscious activities, memory, and the ability to learn.

Cerebellum is responsible for balance and coordinating movement.

30.1 Mammalian Characteristics

Chapter 30

Complex Behavior

Senses

Mammals

The importance of the senses varies from one group of mammals to the next.

Glands A system of glands secretes a variety of

fluids that helps to regulate a mammal’s internal environment.

30.1 Mammalian Characteristics

Chapter 30

Reproduction

In mammals, the egg is fertilized internally.

Mammals

Development of the embryo takes place in the female uterus.

Movement

Mammals must find food, shelter, and escape from predators.

Mammals

Monotremes

Reproduce by laying eggs

Marsupials

Very short period of development in the uterus

Mammals

Crawl into a pouch made of skin and hair and continue development while being nourished by milk from the mother’s mammary glands

Kangaroo

30.2 Diversity of Mammals

Chapter 30

Placental Mammals

Give birth to young that do not need further development within a pouch

Mammals

Represented by 18 orders

Shrew

Therapsids

A therapsid is an extinct vertebrate with both mammalian and reptilian features.

Mammals

Pair of holes in the roof of the skull that allowed for the attachment of jaw muscles

Limbs positioned beneath their bodies

Might have been endotherms
