Question: How do mammals reproduce?

Mammals

Mammary glands exist in both males and females, but more often than not they have evolved further precisely in females.


Question: How do mammals reproduce?

Mammals

Hair cover The function of the coat of hair, often considered a characteristic feature of mammals, is to protect the animal from danger and serve as a layer of insulation.


Question: How do mammals reproduce?

Mammals

The hairs grow in a hair follicle located between the dermis and the subcutaneous layer, where the cells copy each other.


Question: How do mammals reproduce?

Mammals

As the hair grows, its cells die under the influence of keratin.


Question: How do mammals reproduce?

Mammals

Mammalian hair dates back to the days of their early development, when they were active at night, when a heat-insulating layer was beneficial.


Question: How do mammals reproduce?

Mammals

The coloring and patterns of the hair, on the other hand, help them protect themselves from beasts and blend in with the environment.


Question: How do mammals reproduce?

Mammals

In mammals, the abdominal side hair is often paler than the rest of the body, with which, under conventional lighting, the animal fools predators because the coloration impairs depth-oriented perception.


Question: How do mammals reproduce?

Mammals

It is also common for patterns to be found on body hair by which the animal either tends to appear similar to a predator or to distract the attention of the predator.


Question: How do mammals reproduce?

Mammals

Coloration also tongues about sex or belonging to another species, whereby different species do not mate with each other.


Question: How do mammals reproduce?

Mammals

[25] The coloration of mammalian fur may vary depending on the season.


Question: How do mammals reproduce?

Mammals

The tactile hairs of mammals signal from bodies in their vicinity in murky conditions.


Question: How do mammals reproduce?

Mammals

For some mammals, more specialised spines have formed as in spiny spines.


Question: How do mammals reproduce?

Mammals

Many other animals have seen a marked reduction in the amount of hair, such as, say, hippos, armadillos and elephants or humans.


Question: How do mammals reproduce?

Mammals

Nails, hooves and hooves The limbs of most mammals end in hard claws, hooves, or hooves made up of keratin.


Question: How do mammals reproduce?

Mammals

Ungulates differ from bedbugs in that they have an even number (two or four) of toes on one limb, while bedbugs have an odd (one or three) number.


Question: How do mammals reproduce?

Mammals

Other mammals have claws with the exception of whales and siren animals.


Question: How do mammals reproduce?

Mammals

However, whales have evolved from hoofed animals.


Question: How do mammals reproduce?

Mammals

The hooves and hooves are broad and blunt in appearance, but the claws are often curved, thin and pointed, resembling the claws of other vertebrates.


Question: How do mammals reproduce?

Mammals

[26] Mammals have been classified on the basis of their limbs into heel steppers (e.g., man and bear), toe steppers (dogs, cats), and tip-steppers (horses, moose).


Question: How do mammals reproduce?

Mammals

The classification, therefore, is based on the ways in which the mammal walks.


Question: How do mammals reproduce?

Mammals

[26] Horns in all ruminants grow from bony horns.


Question: How do mammals reproduce?

Mammals

From the outside of ruminants (in mammals), only rhinos and giraffes have a structure similar to horns.


Question: How do mammals reproduce?

Mammals

Rhino horn is formed from nasal bones, so rhino horns are not classified as true horns, requiring growth from the forehead bone and a branchless structure.


Question: How do mammals reproduce?

Mammals

The giraffe's tiny stubby horns grow out of the parietal bones, so those aren't true horns either.


Question: How do mammals reproduce?

Mammals

Only hollow horns have horns classified as true horns, as deer horns are branched.


Question: How do mammals reproduce?

Mammals

Horns are used not only for defense from predators, but also in in-species struggles, for example during estrus, when males compete for the female by buffing their horns together.


Question: How do mammals reproduce?

Mammals

After the estrus period, deer drop their antlers and grow new ones.


Question: How do mammals reproduce?

Mammals

Anatomy Skeletal Mammals, like all vertebrates, have an exoskeleton built of bones and cartilaginous tissue that supports the whole body, which, together with muscles and nerves, gives the ability to move.


Question: How do mammals reproduce?

Mammals

However, bone formation (ossification) in mammals differs from other vertebrates.


Question: How do mammals reproduce?

Mammals

What is common is that in (indirect) ossification, mesenchyme cells first differentiate into cells of cartilaginous tissue that prepare a cartilage mold similar to the model of future bone.


Question: How do mammals reproduce?

Mammals

After completion of the mold, the cartilage calcifies and ossification nuclei emerge from which ossification progresses as the cartilage pattern corrodes the bone.


Question: How do mammals reproduce?

Mammals

[27] In mammals, this process occurs both from the centers of the ends of the bone (epiphyses) and from the center in the center of the bone (diaphysis).


Question: How do mammals reproduce?

Mammals

The advantage of ossification found in mammals is that the articular surfaces are more durable than in other vertebrates.


Question: How do mammals reproduce?

Mammals

[5] The mammalian skeleton is typically divided into limb and axial skeleton.


Question: How do mammals reproduce?

Mammals

The latter of these, along with the spine, also includes the ribs and skull.


Question: How do mammals reproduce?

Mammals

The limbs (arms and feet in primates) form with their attachment points the skeleton of the limbs.


Question: How do mammals reproduce?

Mammals

In mammals, the axial skeleton also includes the bones of the middle ear (hammer, anvil and stirrup) and hyoid bone.


Question: How do mammals reproduce?

Mammals

The middle ear bones have evolved as an evolutionary result from the lower jaw of reptiles and allow other vertebrates to have better auditory senses.


Question: How do mammals reproduce?

Mammals

The mandible of mammals is uniform, but in reptiles it consists of many parts.


Question: How do mammals reproduce?

Mammals

The lower jaw is attached via a joint to the rest of the skull, intended to protect the brain.


Question: How do mammals reproduce?

Mammals

The mammalian spine is supported by a bone called the spine, which also protects one of the most important parts of the central nervous system, namely the spinal cord.


Question: How do mammals reproduce?

Mammals

The vertebral column consists of vertebrae, the number of which varies slightly among mammals, although great similarities exist, suggesting that the axial skeleton of mammals apart from the skull has not changed much.


Question: How do mammals reproduce?

Mammals

[5] All mammals, for example, have seven neck vertebrae (six in siren animals and six or nine in sloths).


Question: How do mammals reproduce?

Mammals

The number of thoracic vertebrae varies widely.


Question: How do mammals reproduce?

Mammals

The ribs protecting the internal organs are attached precisely to the thoracic vertebrae and on one side of the body they are attached to the sternum.


Question: How do mammals reproduce?

Mammals

The endings vertebrae are called lumbar, cruciate and coccyx vertebrae.


Question: How do mammals reproduce?

Mammals

The number of lumbar vertebrae is usually around 4—7, but the number varies very much by species (2—21).


Question: How do mammals reproduce?

Mammals

Mammals lack “ribs” attached to these vertebrae, as in lizards.


Question: How do mammals reproduce?

Mammals

The lower lumbar vertebra is attached to the sacrum formed by the sacral vertebrae.


Question: How do mammals reproduce?

Mammals

The number of coccyx, on the other hand, depends on whether the mammal has a tail and how long it is (5—50).


Question: How do mammals reproduce?

Mammals

For example, even if a person does not have a tail, it has a vestigial coccyx reminding of its tail ancestors.


Question: How do mammals reproduce?

Mammals

[5] Mammalian limbs share much of the same traits.


Question: How do mammals reproduce?

Mammals

Most species have five toes (or fingers) on each limb.


Question: How do mammals reproduce?

Mammals

Clear similarities are observed in the number of toe bones between, for example, primates, fin-footed, elephants, hoofed animals, and bats.


Question: How do mammals reproduce?

Mammals

In five-toed primates, the number of toe bones follows a pattern (thumb to pinky toe) of 2—3—3—3—3, which is also found in bat and fin-footed species.


Question: How do mammals reproduce?

Mammals

All five toes of an elephant have three bones, as do bedbugs with an even number of toes (one toe on a horse).


Question: How do mammals reproduce?

Mammals

In three-toed ungulates, the formula is 3—4—4.


Question: How do mammals reproduce?

Mammals

[28] There is also a great deal of correspondence found in the wrist or ankle bones, for example the number of wrist bones differs very little within mammals.


Question: How do mammals reproduce?

Mammals

In primitive mammals, toe bones followed the formula 2—3—3—3—3 and, accordingly, in primitive lizards, the toe bones were organized according to formula 2—3—4—5—3.


Question: How do mammals reproduce?

Mammals

[5] Breathing and Circulation Mammals have complete double circulation.


Question: How do mammals reproduce?

Mammals

This means that the mammalian heart is four-compartment (right ventricle and atrium; left ventricle and atrium) and the heart has a septum that prevents the mixing of oxygen-free and oxygenous blood.


Question: How do mammals reproduce?

Mammals

Duplicity means that there are two links in the mammalian circulation, one of which, or pulmonary circulation, begins in the right ventricle of the heart from where the heart pumps it into the alveoli.


Question: How do mammals reproduce?

Mammals

In the alveoli, oxygen enters the blood and carbon dioxide into the lungs by diffusion.


Question: How do mammals reproduce?

Mammals

From the lungs, blood enters the aorta and other arterial blood vessels.


Question: How do mammals reproduce?

Mammals

In mammals, the aorta always arches to the left.


Question: How do mammals reproduce?

Mammals

In birds, the aorta curves to the right, while in amphibians and reptiles, the aorta arches in both directions.


Question: How do mammals reproduce?

Mammals

The arteries carry oxygenated blood to the tissues and the veins re-transfer carbon dioxide to the heart and small blood stream.


Question: How do mammals reproduce?

Mammals

Along with mammals, only birds and crocodile animals have a four-compartment heart.


Question: How do mammals reproduce?

Mammals

Reptiles, with the exception of crocodile animals, have a three-compartment heart, which is why they have an incomplete double blood supply (oxygenated and oxygenated blood mix).


Question: How do mammals reproduce?

Mammals

In addition, mammalian oxygen-carrying red blood cells lack a nucleus, whereas other vertebrates do.


Question: How do mammals reproduce?

Mammals

Due to the absence of a nucleus and the concave shape of the cell, the red blood cells of mammals contain more hemoglobin, which allows red blood cells to transfer oxygen more efficiently.


Question: How do mammals reproduce?

Mammals

[29] The muscular diaphragm of mammals separates the internal organs into the abdominal and thoracic cavity.


Question: How do mammals reproduce?

Mammals

The diaphragm is a muscle involved in inhalation.


Question: How do mammals reproduce?

Mammals

In other vertebrates, the diaphragm is membranous or absent at all.


Question: How do mammals reproduce?

Mammals

[5] Digestion Because mammals are among the only animals with flat temperature, along with birds, they require more nutrition than other vertebrates for the same tissue mass.


Question: How do mammals reproduce?

Mammals

Because of this, the mammalian digestive system has evolved to be more efficient and beyond other vertebrates.


Question: How do mammals reproduce?

Mammals

In omnivorous animals, the digestive system is comparatively simple compared to herbivores.


Question: How do mammals reproduce?

Mammals

Food, after mechanical fining of the teeth, passes along the esophagus into the stomach, where chemical or biochemical degradation occurs.


Question: How do mammals reproduce?

Mammals

Herbivores have symbiotic bacteria in their stomachs that turn plant carbohydrates, such as cellulose, into volatile fatty acids (VFA), which are easier for the animal to exploit as an energy source.


Question: How do mammals reproduce?

Mammals

The development of the stomach has progressed the most advanced in ungulates and especially in ruminants with a four-part stomach, the parts of which are the rumen, the rapastomach, the reticulated belly, the royal helmet, the rainbow and the treadmill.


Question: How do mammals reproduce?

Mammals

In animals that use bacteria for digestion, the pH of the stomach is slightly acidic (just under seven) because the bacteria would not survive in highly acidic conditions.


Question: How do mammals reproduce?

Mammals

From the rumen, food slips into a mesh stomach with net-shaped folds on its inner wall.


Question: How do mammals reproduce?

Mammals

From here, food protrudes again into the mouth to be bitten, ruminated, and spills past a crevice leading to the rumen into a saucer with leaf-like folds in its mucous membrane.


Question: How do mammals reproduce?

Mammals

Here water is squeezed out of it, after which it gets into the treadmill stomach, where gastric juice is mixed with it.


Question: How do mammals reproduce?

Mammals

In other mammals, the structure of the stomach is considerably simpler.


Question: How do mammals reproduce?

Mammals

[30] [5] From the stomach, food enters the intestine, which consists mainly of two parts: the small and large intestine.


Question: How do mammals reproduce?

Mammals

The glands between the lint supplements of the small intestine produce enzymes that separate carbohydrates and proteins from nutrition.


Question: How do mammals reproduce?

Mammals

Through lint supplements, nutrients are transferred to the bloodstream.


Question: How do mammals reproduce?

Mammals

The length of the small intestine has been found to be proportional to the animal's diet, with herbivores having the longest and fruit-eating the shortest small intestine.


Question: How do mammals reproduce?

Mammals

From the small intestine, the nutrient enters the large intestine, where salts and liquids are stored from it.


Question: How do mammals reproduce?

Mammals

The waste left over from the large intestine enters the rectum and from there eventually through the anus away from the body.


Question: How do mammals reproduce?

Mammals

[30] [5] Nervous system and senses The mammalian brain is large compared to those of other vertebrates.


Question: How do mammals reproduce?

Mammals

Clear differences can be distinguished from the structure of the brain.


Question: How do mammals reproduce?

Mammals

In mammals we find the so-called isocortex, which is a structure on the surface of big brains and is responsible for such functions as conscious thinking, reasoning and estimating distances.


Question: How do mammals reproduce?

Mammals

Isocortex is found in all mammals, but not other vertebrates.


Question: How do mammals reproduce?

Mammals

However, as a homologous structure to this, researchers consider the dorsal horsetail of reptiles, from which some researchers conjecture the isocortex was formed.


Question: How do mammals reproduce?

Mammals

[31] In primates, the range of isocortex activity is particularly wide.


Question: How do mammals reproduce?

Mammals

The surface area of the neocortex is increased by intense warping of the brain, although in the smallest mammals there is little or no warp.


Question: How do mammals reproduce?

Mammals

Some researchers claim the warp structure is caused by the need to obtain more surface area for the isocortex, but other researchers say the idea behind the warp structure is to increase the surface area, making it more efficient to evaporate the abundant thermal energy produced by the brain.


Question: How do mammals reproduce?

Mammals

[32] The senses of smell and hearing in mammals are effective, and the color vision of many mammals that eat fruit and vegetables is particularly accurate.


Question: How do mammals reproduce?

Mammals

Reproduction Mammals have a species-specific time, or so-called estrus period, when they mate.


Question: How do mammals reproduce?

Mammals

In mating, the male's sperm fertilize an egg in the female's egg glands.


Question: How do mammals reproduce?

Mammals

After fertilization, the zygote moves along the egg conductors to the uterus, where it develops into an embryo and fetus.


Question: How do mammals reproduce?

Mammals

Placental mammals give birth to juveniles living like marsupials, but in marsupials the embryo moves to a pouch on the mother's abdominal side.


Question: How do mammals reproduce?

Mammals

Beaked animals, of which there are only five species, do not breed viviparously but lay eggs, which they incubate until hatching.


Question: How do mammals reproduce?

Mammals

All mammals feed their born chicks with milk secreted through nisies.


Question: How do mammals reproduce?

Mammals

The cub is not left to its own devices after giving birth; the mother, and possibly also the herd, will take care of the genre for a period of time until the cub is sufficiently grown up to operate on its own.


Question: How do mammals reproduce?

Mammals

Many times weaning begins after months, but in humans and, for example, a chimpanzee, the duration is several years.


Question: How do mammals reproduce?

Mammals

Land mammals normally give birth to their young headfirst while whales and dolphins give birth to their chicks tail end first.


Question: How do mammals reproduce?

Mammals

In the past, they too gave birth on land and based on preserved fossils, the preforms of whales gave birth to chicks headfirst.


Question: How do mammals reproduce?

Mammals

The reason for the whales' exceptional emergence position is to prevent the chicks from drowning before childbirth is over.


Question: How do mammals reproduce?

Mammals

[33] Carrying time is broadly proportional to the size and weight of the mammal.


Question: How do mammals reproduce?

Mammals

In the donkey elephant, the carrier period is about 645 days and in the domestic mouse about 19 days.


Question: How do mammals reproduce?

Mammals

With complete precision, the carrying time does not follow size, as, for example, a caskelot several times heavier than a donkey elephant has a carrying time of only 500 days, and a possum larger than a house mouse has a carrying time of only 12—13 days.


Question: How do mammals reproduce?

Mammals

[34] Carrying time also depends on the climate and the amount of food available.


Question: How do mammals reproduce?

Mammals

Generally, gestation proceeds in a straight line from mating to giving birth, but in some mammals, such as the fly, gestation may be intermittent.


Question: How do mammals reproduce?

Mammals

The fly copulates in summer and the zygote enters the uterus, where gestation stops during autumn, which allows the fly to prolong the gestation period so that it does not give birth until spring, when the days are longer and warmer and food is better available than, for example, in winter would.


Question: How do mammals reproduce?

Mammals

Mammals produce comparatively few chicks.


Question: How do mammals reproduce?

Mammals

A stem species that lived in mammals 185 million years ago produced 38 chicks at once.


Question: How do mammals reproduce?

Mammals

Subsequently, mammalian litters have evolved to be considerably smaller.


Question: How do mammals reproduce?

Mammals

[35] Nutrition and Distribution Nutrition Mammals specialize in eating remarkably different food and four different types of teeth (heterodonticity) can be distinguished, with the exception of whales having only one type of teeth (homodonticity).


Question: How do mammals reproduce?

Mammals

Some mammals are beasts, that is, they eat meat, some eat plant food alone and some are insects.


Question: How do mammals reproduce?

Mammals

Some species, such as human or bear, are omnivorous meaning they eat all the previous ones.


Question: How do mammals reproduce?

Mammals

Specialization in different food sources can be seen in the teeth of mammals.


Question: How do mammals reproduce?

Mammals

The first mammals, as well as current predators, had sharp and choreous teeth that were well suited to crushing the hard chitin shell of arthropods or tearing flesh.


Question: How do mammals reproduce?

Mammals

Herbivores have shallow and flat-topped molars that allow the plant material to be finely grinded.


Question: How do mammals reproduce?

Mammals

They use their incisors only to cut off leaves and branches.


Question: How do mammals reproduce?

Mammals

Omnivores have round molars and sharp-angled canines.


Question: How do mammals reproduce?

Mammals

Rodents have sharp incisors and small molars.


Question: How do mammals reproduce?

Mammals

Ant bears with depleted teeth have almost no teeth, since their main food consists of ants and termites.


Question: How do mammals reproduce?

Mammals

Insects are pre-small, in which case they do not need chopping.


Question: How do mammals reproduce?

Mammals

Instead, ant bears have a very long tongue, which they use to catch ants even deep in the tunnel.


Question: How do mammals reproduce?

Mammals

In other animals with impaired teeth, teeth have begun to atrophy.


Question: How do mammals reproduce?

Mammals

Nor do the now-surviving beaked animals have teeth.


Question: How do mammals reproduce?

Mammals

Mammals specialising in plant nutrition have the advantage that there is usually no shortage of food and easy acquisition.


Question: How do mammals reproduce?

Mammals

In the northern regions, though, snow complicates foraging.


Question: How do mammals reproduce?

Mammals

Plants tend to have low nutritional value, leaving them forced to spend much of the time solely eating.


Question: How do mammals reproduce?

Mammals

Meat and insects, on the other hand, satisfy the animal's nutritional needs, but food acquisition, on the other hand, is more cumbersome and energy-consuming.


Question: How do mammals reproduce?

Mammals

For example, hyenas have solved this problem by eating scavengers, that is, remnants of animal carcasses left behind from other predators.


Question: How do mammals reproduce?

Mammals

Distribution On Earth, mammals are spread across every continent, including Antarctica, where only species adapted to marine life live.


Question: How do mammals reproduce?

Mammals

They are spread out over several islands as well.


Question: How do mammals reproduce?

Mammals

Biogeographically, the Earth is divided into four zone types, which are Holarctic, Insular, South American and Afro-Tehtyan.


Question: How do mammals reproduce?

Mammals

The Holarctic region comprises North America, Europe, Russia, as well as China.


Question: How do mammals reproduce?

Mammals

Mexico, southern Europe and China's northeastern parts remain outside the region.


Question: How do mammals reproduce?

Mammals

All of Africa, Southern Europe and South Asia constitute an Afro-made animal zone with the Middle East.


Question: How do mammals reproduce?

Mammals

Mexico and all of South America, on the other hand, belong to the South American Animal Zone.


Question: How do mammals reproduce?

Mammals

The West Indies Archipelago, Madagascar and Australia are insular zones of the animal zone.


Question: How do mammals reproduce?

Mammals

Behaviour Social Behavior Mammals are viviparous, that is, with a few exceptions, give birth to live chicks.


Question: How do mammals reproduce?

Mammals

The advantage of this is that the chicks have time to develop in safety for a long time, leaving them not very susceptible to being preyed by beasts.


Question: How do mammals reproduce?

Mammals

However, mammals do not abandon offspring after birth, but nurture them until they survive independently.


Question: How do mammals reproduce?

Mammals

Such parential behavior is common in mammals, but not exclusively a feature of them.


Question: How do mammals reproduce?

Mammals

For example, in birds, fish and reptiles, similar traits are found.


Question: How do mammals reproduce?

Mammals

In parental care, the mammal learns such things and abilities that do not transmit genetically to it.


Question: How do mammals reproduce?

Mammals

In the herds, the offspring play with other young individuals and learn to act in the herd.


Question: How do mammals reproduce?

Mammals

Mammals have good memory and ability to learn.


Question: How do mammals reproduce?

Mammals

[5] Mammals either live alone or form colonies.


Question: How do mammals reproduce?

Mammals

There is a definite hierarchy within the colony, with the oldest female or male at the head, for example.


Question: How do mammals reproduce?

Mammals

The structure of colonies varies from species to species, as sometimes there may be both females and males in the same colony, but in certain cases only one male and the other females.


Question: How do mammals reproduce?

Mammals

The oldest male in the herd usually has the privilege of mating with the females of his harem.


Question: How do mammals reproduce?

Mammals

In the hierarchy, others are tasked with obtaining food, nurturing offspring, or warning others of impending danger.


Question: How do mammals reproduce?

Mammals
