Reptilian lungs are typically simpler and less efficient than mammalian lungs, featuring fewer alveoli and a more limited surface area for gas exchange. Reptiles often rely on a more rigid lung structure, using muscle contractions to facilitate air movement, while mammals have a diaphragm that allows for more effective inhalation and exhalation. Additionally, mammalian lungs have a more complex branching system that enhances oxygen absorption. Overall, these differences reflect the varying respiratory needs and evolutionary adaptations of reptiles and mammals.
What else can I help you with?
Was the triceratops mammalian or reptilian?
none it was a dino stupid people
The reptile which was the ancestor of mammals can be classified as a?
There's a misconception at work here. The reptilian branch of evolution did not spawn the mammalian branch of evolution. You need to go back to the reptilian ancestor that was also a mammalian ancestor. We humans do have what is referred to as a reptilian brain, which is a small part of our whole brain.
Compare a mammalian brain to a reptilian brain?
A mammal's brain is about 15 times heavier than the brain of a similarly sized fish, amphibian, or reptile.
Where does blood exchange carbon dioxide for oxygen in the mammalian circulatory system?
the lungs
What organ do dolphin breath with?
Dolphins have a mammalian respiratory system, ie. lungs.
How do the lungs of bird differ from lungs of mammals?
smaller
Do bearded dragons have red blood cells?
Yes, bearded dragons have red blood cells. Reptilian red blood cells are different to mammalian red blood cells in that they have a nucleus and are oval in shape.
How does the lungs of cats differ to other animals?
lungs are vertical to the spine
Are lungs differ in domestic animal?
Lungs do not differ that much in domestic animals. These animals need oxygen just like the animals that are in the wild.
Is the turtle amphibious or reptilian?
Amphibious
Why do mammals have bigger brains than other animals?
Mammalian brains evolved from reptilian brains (simply instinctive), develop feelings and can alter instincts through experience.
Why prototherians are unfinished mammals?
Prototherians, such as the platypus and echidna, are considered "unfinished" mammals because they exhibit both reptilian and mammalian characteristics. They lay eggs like reptiles, but also produce milk for their young like mammals. These unique features suggest that prototherians represent an ancient stage in mammalian evolution before the development of more distinct mammalian traits.
