Order of mammals which includes
humans.

Process used by bats and cetaceans in
which high frequency sound waves are
bounced off objects to help in navigation.
echolocation
Flat sheet-like muscle located beneath the
ribcage which helps move air into and
out of the lungs.
diaphragm
This structure which receives
digestive & urinary waste as well as
sperm/eggs is MISSING in most
mammals (except monotremes)
cloaca

higher level thinking and learning is larger
in mammals
cerebrum
Name 3 characteristics of mammals
Endothermic
Hair
4 chambered heart
Feed milk to young
Single lower jawbone
Specialized teeth
Most mammals belong to this group
Monotremes
Placental
Marsupials

Reproductive structure that stores and
adds fluid to sperm in males.

_____________________
Mammals provide nourishment to their
developing embryos growing inside the
mother through this structure
placenta
These structures give mammals their name and
provide milk to nurse their young.
Mammary glands
How are the exit openings in the lower
body of a rat different from that of a

Amphibians, reptiles, and birds have only
ONE opening (vent). Digestive, excretory,
& reproductive all empty into cloaca and exit
through the same opening.
Mammals have separate openings.
Females have 3 (digestive, excretory, & reproductive)
Males have 2
(excretory and reproductive share one opening)
