• The arrangement of hair provides insulation and waterproofing and thereby conserves body heat.
![Page 16: Table of Contents – pages iv-v](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062422/5681365e550346895d9deae0/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Mammals have hairMammals have hair
• Mammals also have internal feedback mechanisms that signal the body to cool off when it gets too warm.
• Mammals cool off by panting and through the action of sweat glands.
• Panting releases water from the nose and mouth, which results in a loss of body heat.
![Page 17: Table of Contents – pages iv-v](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062422/5681365e550346895d9deae0/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)

• Sweat glands help regulate body temperature by secreting moisture onto the surface of the skin.
• As the moisture evaporates, it transfers heat from the body to the surrounding air.
![Page 18: Table of Contents – pages iv-v](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062422/5681365e550346895d9deae0/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Mammals nurse their youngMammals nurse their young
• Mammals have several types of glands, which are a group of cells that secrete fluids.
• They include glands that produce saliva, sweat, oil, digestive enzymes, hormones, milk, and scent.

Placental mammals: A great successPlacental mammals: A great success
• Placental mammals give birth to young that have developed inside the mother’s uterus until their body systems are fully functional and they can live independently of their mother’s body.
![Page 48: Table of Contents – pages iv-v](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062422/5681365e550346895d9deae0/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
Placental mammals: A great successPlacental mammals: A great success
• The uterus is a hollow, muscular organ in which offspring develop.
• Nourishment of the young inside the uterus occurs through an organ called the placenta which develops during pregnancy.
![Page 49: Table of Contents – pages iv-v](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062422/5681365e550346895d9deae0/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
Placental mammals: A great successPlacental mammals: A great success
• The time during which placental mammals develop inside the uterus is called gestation.
• Development inside the mother’s body ensures that the offspring are protected from predators and the environment during the early stages of development.

Pouched mammals: The marsupialsPouched mammals: The marsupials• A marsupial is a mammal
in which the young have a short period of development within the mother’s body, followed by a period of development inside a pouch made of skin and hair on the outside of the mother’s body.
![Page 51: Table of Contents – pages iv-v](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062422/5681365e550346895d9deae0/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
Pouched mammals: The marsupialsPouched mammals: The marsupials
• Most marsupials are found in Australia and surrounding islands.
• Scientists have found fossil marsupials on the continents that once made up Gondwana.
• These fossils support the idea that marsupials originated in South America, moved across Antarctica, and populated Australia before Gondwana broke up.
![Page 52: Table of Contents – pages iv-v](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062422/5681365e550346895d9deae0/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
Monotremes: The egg layersMonotremes: The egg layers
• The duck-billed platypus is a monotreme, a mammal that reproduces by laying eggs.
• Spiny anteaters, also called echidnas, belong to this subclass as well.
![Page 53: Table of Contents – pages iv-v](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062422/5681365e550346895d9deae0/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)

What is the difference between a monotreme and a marsupial? (TX Obj 2; 8C, 10A)
Question 3
![Page 65: Table of Contents – pages iv-v](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062422/5681365e550346895d9deae0/html5/thumbnails/65.jpg)
Monotremes reproduce by laying eggs. A marsupial’s young begins development within the body but complete its development outside the body in a pouch made of skin and hair.
![Page 66: Table of Contents – pages iv-v](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062422/5681365e550346895d9deae0/html5/thumbnails/66.jpg)
• Mammals are endotherms giving them the ability to maintain a fairly constant body temperature.
Mammal Characteristics
• Hair is present on all mammals at some point in their lives.
• Mammals feed their young from modified sweat glands called mammary glands.
![Page 67: Table of Contents – pages iv-v](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062422/5681365e550346895d9deae0/html5/thumbnails/67.jpg)
• Mammals with teeth have different kinds of teeth that are adapted to the type of food they eat.
Mammal Characteristics
• Highly developed brains enable mammals to learn.
![Page 68: Table of Contents – pages iv-v](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062422/5681365e550346895d9deae0/html5/thumbnails/68.jpg)
• Mammals are classified into three subclasses—placentals, marsupials, and monotremes—based on how they reproduce.
Diversity of Mammals
• Placental mammals carry young inside the uterus until their body systems are fully functional. Nourishment inside the uterus occurs through an organ called the placenta.
![Page 69: Table of Contents – pages iv-v](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062422/5681365e550346895d9deae0/html5/thumbnails/69.jpg)
• Marsupials carry partially developed young in a pouch on the outside of the mother’s body.
Diversity of Mammals
• Monotremes are egg-laying mammals found only in Australia, Tasmania, and New Guinea.

D.
C.
B.
A.
![Page 73: Table of Contents – pages iv-v](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062422/5681365e550346895d9deae0/html5/thumbnails/73.jpg)
The answer is A. This skull contains primarily molars and premolars which are used to crush and grind food.

Question 6
Why are mammals considered to be one of the most successful groups of organisms?(TX Obj 2; 8C)
![Page 80: Table of Contents – pages iv-v](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062422/5681365e550346895d9deae0/html5/thumbnails/80.jpg)
Mammals are capable of accomplishing complex behaviors such as learning and remembering what they have learned. Mammals also guard their young and teach them the skills they need to survive on their own.
