Textbook Question
Chapter 1, Problem 2CT
A child born with a severe cleft palate may require surgery to repair the nasal cavity and reconstruct the roof of the mouth. Which body systems are affected by the cleft palate? Studies of other mammals that develop cleft palates have helped us understand the origins and treatment of such problems. Which anatomical specialties are involved in identifying and correcting a cleft palate?

Mammals have a particularly good sense of earing thanks to their inner ear which
includes three tiny bones. Reptiles, in contrast, have a single inner ear bone. The
lower jaw of reptiles is composed of multiple bones while the lower jaw of mammals
is a single bone. Fossil and developmental evidence indicate that the inner ear bones
of mammals evolved from lower jawbones. This suggests that the inner ear bones of
mammals are
Mammal skull, including ear bones
eardrum
Reptile skull, including ear bone
eardrum
Oa transitional trait
a vestigial structure
a living fossil
an exaptation

Draw a skull of a mammal and identify which parts are the Chondrocranium or Nuerocranium, Dermatocranium and Splanchnocranium.
Label the four parts that make up the cranial buttressing system of
Homo erectus (where are they located): supraorbital torus, sagittal
keel, angular torus, occipital torus
H. habilis skulls do not have a cranial buttressing system. Different
skull functions show species developments. What different activities
did H. erectus engage in that H. habilis did not?
Where was the Nariokotome skeleton found?
How old is the fossil? (in terms of millions of years ago)
How old was this individual at death? (actual and modern equivalent)
What sex was this individual?
What have we learned about the Homo erectus species in general by
studying the fossils of this particular individual?

STATION 4: Compare the following forms of H. erectus to get an
idea of the diversity present.
Date range
Cranial capacity? (cc)
Where found?

- Which of the following is true regarding evolutionary changes in morphology of dentition over time in our evolutionary lineage? Group of answer choices The reduction in size of canines the reduction in the size of the third premolar The increase in the total number of teeth The increase in enamel thickness the increase in the size of molars and caninesarrow_forwardCompare and contrast the exterior anatomy of the pig to the shark and the lamprey. What has changed? What has stayed the same? What are the benefits of these changes?arrow_forwardThousands of years ago, the jaws and teeth of jaguars were more varied in size than they are today. During a period of climate change about 11,000 years ago, jaguars faced a shortage of food. There were fewer mammals to eat, so the jaguars had to eat shelled reptiles. The jaguars with the largest jaws and teeth could most easily eat the shelled reptiles. Which of the following statements best explains why large jaws and teeth are common characteristics in jaguars today? Jaguars with smallest jaws and teeth died out completely. Jaguars with the smallest jaws and teeth were not able to mate. Jaguars with the largest jaws and teeth survived and reproduced more successfully than the other jaguars. Jaguars with the largest jaws and teeth strengthened them by using them more frequently than the other jaguars.arrow_forward

- Pharyngeal slits are which of the following? Question 24 options: a) Openings in the pharynx.
