Hannah Reagan 3 rd period

 Class Mammalia  Have hair and mammary glands (produce milk to nourish the young)  Also, mammals breathe air, have four- chambered hearts, and are endotherms that generate body heat internally

 Though you can’t see hair nor mammary glands in fossils, some fossilized mammal characteristics include: lower jaw connected by a joint directly to the skull, teeth that are replaced once in a lifetime, and discrete features of limbs and backbone  Mammals descend from reptiles  First appeared during late Triassic period; 220 million years ago

 High metabolic rate  Hair  Subcutaneous fat: layer of fat located beneath the skin  Some have sweat glands and others often pant

 As mammals evolved, the form and function of their jaws and teeth became adapted to eat foods other than insects  Because of high metabolic rate, mammals have to eat 10 times more food as a reptile  Specialized teeth: 1. incisors 2. canines 3. molars 4. premolars  Carnivores have short intestine because digestive enzymes can quickly digest meat  Herbivores have long intestine because tough, fibrous plant tissue is hard to break down  Rumen: stomach chamber in which newly swallowed plant food is stored and processed

 All mammals use lungs  Diaphragm: powerful muscle that pulls the bottom of the chest cavity downward, which further increases volume when breathing in  2 separate loops with a four chambered heart  Right ventricle and atrium pump oxygen poor blood from body to lungs. Left ventricle and atrium pump oxygen rich blood from lungs to the rest of the body.

 The kidneys of mammals help maintain homeostasis by filtering urea from the blood, as well as by excreting excess water or retaining needed water.  Kidneys also help retain sugars, salts, etc.  Kidneys allow mammals to live in different habitats just by being able to stabilize the amount of water in the body efficiently

 Highly developed brains: main parts include cerebrum-thinking and learning, cerebellum- muscular coordination, and medulla oblongata-involuntary body functions  The cerebrum outer layer is the cerebral cortex: center of thinking and other complex behaviors  Many have well developed sense of smell, sight, and hearing

 Endocrine glands regulate body activities by releasing chemicals called hormones that affect other organs and tissues  Immune systems help stop pathogens from infecting the mammal (includes skin barrier, and specialized cells that recognize and destroy pathogens)

 Backbone  Shoulder and pelvic girdles  Diversity in limb bones of climbers, runners, diggers, flyers, and swimmers. Pictures of limbs on page 826!

 Internal fertilization  All newborn mammals feed on their mother’s milk  Strong parental care and interaction
