Presentation Transcript

  1. Mammals Last unit!

  2. What are mammals? • Vertebrate • Tetrapod • Endothermic • Amniotic

  3. Mammalian Integumentary Adaptations • Female mammals produce milk for their young • Milk is produced in the mammary glands • Mammary glands are modified sweat glands • Mammals have hair (at some point in their lives)

  4. Mammalian Skeletal Adaptations • Jaw: single bottom bone makes up the jaw • Middle ear – 3 bones make up the middle ear • Malleus (Hammer) • Incus (Anvil) • Stapes (Stirrup)

  5. Mammalian Muscular Adaptations • Diaphragm • Muscle below the lungs/heart • Contracts/relaxes to assist with breathing • Separates body into two cavities • Thoracic cavity • Abdominal cavity

  6. Mammalian Circulatory System • 4 chambered heart • Endothermic • Systemic and pulmonary circuits

  7. Mammalian Brain • Brain stem • Medulla oblongata • Cerebellum • Pituitary gland • Pineal gland • Cerebrum • Hemispheres • Higher mammals = increased amount of convolusions (sulci) to increase surface area

  8. Comparing Mammalian Brains

  9. 3 Subclasses • Prototheria or Monotremes • Metatheria or Marsupials • Eutheria or placental mammals

  10. Protheria/ Monotremes • Egg laying mammals • Platypus • Spiny Anteater

  11. Metatheria/Marsupials • Pouch to carry young • Still possess a placenta • Not well developed

  12. Eutheria/Placental Mammals • Diverse group • Armadillos • Bats • Elephants • Shrews • Whales • Humans • Uterus • Placenta – fetus is directly connected to the mother

  13. Rat Dissection

  14. Rat Systems • Muscular • Respiratory • Cardiovascular • Digestive • Excretory • Reproductive
