Study Notes
Mammal Evolution
- The first mammals appeared during the Triassic period.
Characteristics of Mammals
- A key characteristic of mammals is the presence of mammary glands, which are used for milk production.
- Mammals have a heart with four chambers.
Types of Mammals
- There are three main types of mammals: monotremes, marsupials, and placentals.
- Monotremes are mammals that lay eggs and have a pouch to carry their eggs.
- Marsupials are mammals that have a pouch to carry their developed young.
- Placentals are mammals that have a placenta for nourishing the developing fetus.
Marsupials
- A key characteristic of marsupials is that they give birth to underdeveloped young, which then complete their development inside the mother's pouch.
- Marsupials have a pouch to carry their developed young.
Placentals
- A key characteristic of placentals is that they have a placenta for nourishing the developing fetus.
- The main function of the placenta is to provide nutrients and oxygen to the developing fetus.
Carnivores
- A key characteristic of carnivores is that they primarily eat meat.
Evolution of Mammals
- Mammals evolved from a group of reptiles called synapsids.
- One adaptation that enables mammals to inhabit diverse environments is their ability to regulate their body temperature.
Monotremes
- Monotremes share two features with other mammals: the presence of hair and the production of milk.
- Monotremes belong to the subclass Prototheria.
Placental Mammals
- Examples of placental mammals include humans, dogs, and cats.
Reproductive Features
- Monotremes lay eggs and have a pouch to carry their eggs.
- Marsupials have a pouch to carry their developed young.
- Placentals have a placenta for nourishing the developing fetus.
Milk Feeding Methods
- Monotremes produce milk, but do not have nipples.
- Marsupials and placentals produce milk and have nipples.
Diet
- Carnivores primarily eat meat.
- Omnivores eat both plants and animals.
