  1. 1. Olfactory Epithelium size in Mammals : A structured review

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Institutionen för fysik, kemi och biologi

    Author : Gabrielle Hipp Marchidan; [2021]
    Keywords : mammal olfaction; olfactory epithelium; olfactory receptor cells;

    Abstract : Members of the class Mammalia have the most advanced skeletal complexity of the nasal cavity among vertebrates. Most mammals have an olfactory epithelium that consists of basal cells, supporting cells and olfactory sensory neurons that bind odor molecules with their cilia. The olfactory epithelium is responsible for detecting odor stimuli. READ MORE

    Keywords : Africa; Hyaenodonta; Miocene; neurocranium; palaeoneurology; Teratodontinae; Afrika; Hyaenodonta; Miocene; neurokranium; palaeoneurologi; Teratodontinae;

    Abstract : The Hyaenodonta include a wide variety of carnivorous mammals ranging in age from late Palaeocene to middle Miocene. Although they reached a nearly global distribution, little remains of them today. Many of the taxa are based only on teeth and jaw fragments. READ MORE

  4. 3. Evolution of the Vascular Pattern in Mammals : Using Synchrotron Imaging to Visualise Hidden 3D Structures

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Jasper Ponstein; [2017]
    Keywords : Secondary ossification centres; Mammalia; vascularity; limb-bone evolution; Sekundära ossifieringscentra; däggdjur; vaskuläritet; lembensutveckling;

    Abstract : The morphology and histology of long bones are important tools for understanding tetrapod locomotion and growth. In mammals, the epiphyses of long bones ossify from a secondary centre of ossification. The consensus is that vascular canals are closely tied to the formation of these centres. READ MORE
