Class Mammalia As we finish up our Biology course we are going to discuss the class that contains people. This is one of the smaller classes in subphylum Vertebrata.

Many people confuse the term “animal” with “mammal.” The term “animal” includes creatures: Sponges, hydras, fish, amphibians, reptiles and birds.

The following separate mammals from the other vertebrates 1.Hair covering the skin 2.Reproduce with internal fertilization and usually viviparous. 3.Nourish their young with milk secreted from specialized glands. 4.Four chambered heart 5.Endothermic (Notice that the last two characteristics are the same as those of birds. The first 3 characteristics set mammals apart from any other creatures in phylum Chordata.)

Hair In most mammals hair is really obvious. However, in some it is much harder to see. Elephants: It is there in Ragged tufts that make a Patchwork across the skin. Whales have whiskers on their Snouts, chin or behind their Blowholes.

Hair Like scales on reptiles and feathers on birds, is made of nonliving cells. These cells are produced by hair follicles, which are tiny structures in the skin.

Most mammals have… Underhair that is found under the Guard hair. It is soft, insulating layer of fur next to the animal’s Skin. Guard Hair Usually gives Most mammals Their colors and Distinctive Markings.

Functions of Hair 1.Insulation 2.Camouflage 3.Defense mechanism 4.Aids the senses: Cat whiskers, vision 5.Hair “bristles” when angry or frightened

Mammal Reproduction 1.Placental mammals: internal fertilization. Placenta is a structure that allows an embryo to be nourished with the mother’s blood supply through the umbilical cord bringing oxygen and nutrients to the developing embryo.

The gestation period is the time during which an embryo develops before being born. The gestational period for mammals varies greatly. Mice have a gestation period of about 3 weeks, horses about 1 year. The longer the gestational period, the more developed the offspring is.

Once the offspring is born… All mammals care for their young. The female produces milk (lactating) through mammary glands.

Most mammals have some sort of “family” structure in which the parents teach the young survival skills before the young leave the protection of the parents.

There are exceptions to the viviparous rule. 2. Nonplacental mammals. There are two orders of mammals that we will discuss shortly.

Just like birds, mammals are… 1.Endothermic: They regulate their own internal body temperature and keep it constant. 2.Four-chambered heart, whereby oxygen- poor blood never mixes with oxygen-rich blood in the blood vessels.
