Other Characteristics
Endothermy
Source of body heat is internal.
Heat is produced by a high metabolic rate.
Body temperature is regulated by internal feedback mechanisms.

Teeth
Reveal the life habits of a mammal
Carnivores use canines to stab and premolars to slice and shear meat.
Incisors of insectivores are long and curved, functioning as pincers in seizing insect prey.

10. Kidneys excrete or retain the proper amount of water in body fluids.

Respiration
High levels of oxygen are required to maintain a high level of metabolism.
Mammals are the only animals that have a diaphragm.

30.1 Mammalian Characteristics
Circulation
Mammals require a consistent supply of nutrients and oxygen to maintain homeostasis.
Keeping oxygenated and deoxygenated blood separate makes the delivery of nutrients and oxygen more efficient.

The Brain and Senses
Mammals have highly developed brains.
Cerebral cortex is responsible for coordinating conscious activities, memory, and the ability to learn.
Cerebellum is responsible for balance and coordinating movement.

14. Complex Behavior Senses

Mammals
30.1 Mammalian Characteristics
Complex Behavior
Senses
The importance of the senses varies from one group of mammals to the next.
Glands
A system of glands secretes a variety of fluids that helps to regulate a mammal’s internal environment.

15. In mammals, the egg is fertilized internally.
Chapter 30
Mammals
30.1 Mammalian Characteristics
Reproduction
In mammals, the egg is fertilized internally.
Development of the embryo takes place in the female uterus.
Movement
Mammals must find food, shelter, and escape from predators.

Very short period of development in the uterus
Crawl into a pouch made of skin and hair and continue development while being nourished by milk from the mother’s mammary glands
