The human brain has the same structure of brains of other mammals, but with a more highly-developed cortex. The human brain is encased by a thick skull, but is susceptible to damage and disease. Human skeletons serve 6 major functions. The skeleton offers protection of organs, movement, support, production of blood cells, endocrine regulation, and storage of ions.

This type of structure has no clear function in some modern species?

Vestigial structure. These are remnants of organs or anatomical features that had a purpose in ancestor species but no longer serve a clear function in modern species. Examples include the appendix in humans or the hip bones in whales.


What are vestigial structures found in humans?

Some examples of vestigial structures in humans include the appendix, coccyx (tailbone), and ear muscles that are no longer used for movement. These structures are remnants of ancestral features that have lost their original function over time through evolution.


How is an insect's exoskeleton similar to a humans?

What are Structures in different organisms that share a common ancestry?

Examples of structures in different organisms that share a common ancestry include the pentadactyl limb in vertebrates (including humans, cats, bats, and whales) and the similar bone structure seen in bird wings, bat wings, and pterosaur wings due to a common ancestor from which they evolved. Another example is the vertebrate eye structure found in humans, birds, and octopuses, which have evolved independently yet share common features due to their shared ancestry.


What is a structure that don't seem to have any function but may once function in an ancestor?

An appendix in humans is a structure that seems to have little function, but it may have been more important in our ancestors for digesting cellulose. Similarly, the tailbone (coccyx) in humans is a remnant of a tail that was functional in our primate ancestors for balance and mobility.

What is the appendix use for in human?

The appendix is not really needed in the human body, it is just there to help your body with digestion.


What type of structure has no clear function in some modern species?

The human appendix is an example of a structure with no clear function in some modern species. It is believed to have been important for digesting hard-to-digest plant materials in our evolutionary ancestors but has lost its function in humans over time.


What are man made features?

A man-made feature is structures built intentionally by humans to help support how areas function or work.
