MAMMALS
Chapters 45
Membrane that surrounds the embryo
amnion
and the fluid in which it floats ______________________

vestigial
but it is functionless and no longer used _______________
(Ex: human appendix is a vestigial cecum)
Muscular female reproductive
uterus
organ where the embryo attaches __________________
and grows

____________________
Mammals that have premature babies
Which they carry in a pouch until
they mature

Large flat teeth that grind _______________________
molars
and crush food
This energy molecule is stored
in the liver ________________________
glycogen
This substance is made by the pancreas
and causes cells to release glucose into
glucagon
the bloodstream.
