Mammals
2
Class Mammalia
The name mammalia is derived from mammary glands. These glands produce milk to nourish newborns. Females are the only sex that produce milk, but males also possess these glands. Males just don’t have certain increases of hormones that cause lactation or milk production.
3
Class Mammalia• Hair• Mammary glands• Sweat glands• Muscular diaphragm• Endothermic• Four chambered heart
• Two sets of teeth(“baby” and “adult”)
• Heterodont teeth– Different shapes and
functions
4
Class Mammalia
Additional characteristics (you don’t need to write these down)
• Movable eyelids• Two occipital condyles• Three ear bones• Placenta
– Except two groups
5
Mammals are endothermic. They maintain a constant internal body temperature. Hair and a subcutaneous fatty layer helps to maintain warmth, while sweat glands help cool.
6
Movement
• Backbone that flexes vertically and side to side
• Variations in limb bones allow walking, running, climbing, burrowing, hopping, swimming, flying, etc.

Feeding and Digestion
• Mammals may be herbivores, carnivores, omnivores, or filter feeders (baleen whale).
• They have specialized teeth• Some mammals that eat plant material have
specialized organs to break down plant material including a rumen and cecum
• The mammalian digestive system cannot break down plant material on its own. Symbioitic relationships with bacteria and fungi allow plant material to be digested in mammalian organs.

SALIVARY GLANDS
• DIGESTION starts in the MOUTH

BALEENThin keratin plates
that hang from the roof of the mouth and screen food from water

CECUM
In non cud chewers like horses, rabbits, rodents, elephants
Small pouch off small intestine containing bacteria to digest plants

Human Digestive System
28
Respiration
• Mammals have a large diaphragm muscle that when contracted, pulls the bottom of the chest cavity downward, increasing the volume of the chest cavity, allowing a mammal to inhale.
• Air is pulled into the chest cavity and lungs when this happens.
• When the diaphragm muscle relaxes, the volume of the chest cavity decreases and causes air to be pushed out—exhaling.
Human Respiratory system

30
Circulatory system
• Mammals have a two loop closed system (pulmonary and systemic) that is very efficient at transporting oxygen to cells and removing carbon dioxide from cells.
• 4 chambered heart

Mammal Circulation
33
Excretory system
• Mammals have highly developed kidneys that help maintain homeostasis.
• Kidneys osmoregulate, maintaining water and ion concentrations, as well as removing excess urea or nitrogenous waste from the blood.

35
Nervous system and response• Mammals have the most highly developed
brain of any animal. The three main parts of the mammalian brain are the cerebrum (motor movement, sensory info), cerebellum (balance and coordination), and medulla oblongata (involuntary organ control).
• Mammals have a cerebral cortex, the center for thinking and complex behaviors
• Mammals have exceptional senses such as smell, hearing, and eyesight.
36
37
Reproduction and development• Distinct separate sexes, sexual reproduction,
and internal fertilization.• Most viviparous (duck billed platypus is
oviparous and lays eggs)
• Young nourished by mother’s milk and usually raised for an extended period of time.
38
39
There are 3 general groups of mammals. Include in notes general characteristics for each as well some common examples.
40
Monotremes
• Lay eggs• Transitional species• Incubate 12 days• Lick milk from
mothers fur
41
MONOTREMES“Egg laying”
Duckbilled PlatypusAnteaterEchidna
42
Marsupials
• Pouched mammals• Birth to tiny embryo
that is not fully developed
• Embryo crawls into mother’s pouch to complete development
43
MARSUPIALSPremature babies develop in pouch
Mostly found in Australia/ New Guinea
• Kangaroo
• Wallaby
44
MARSUPIALSOnly North American Marsupial
• Oppossum
45
Placental Mammals
• Placenta nourishes embryo inside mother
• Long gestation period– 22 months for
elephant
• Most successful group of mammals
46
PLACENTALEmbryos nourished inside mother
by placenta
95% of all mammals are placental
At least 18 orders
47
Placental Mammals
• Competitive advantage over monotremes and marsupials– Better nutrition from
placenta– Less vulnerable to
predators• More advanced at birth
48
Evolution of Placenta from Amniotic Egg (you don’t have to write down)
Reptile • Chorion
– Oxygen from air
• Amnion– Provides private pond
• Yolk Sac– Food for embryo
• Allantois– Store urinary waste
• Mammal• Chorion
– Form placenta to get oxygen & food from mothers blood
• Amnion– Provides private pond
• Yolk sac– Temporarily make RBCs
• Allantois– Form umbilical cord

51
Mammal Classification
• 14 major orders• Over 4,000 species• About half are rodents• Don’t worry about
writing down various order names and groups
52

• Lays eggs• Young lick milk from
mothers fur
53
