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

a vestigial structure
a living fossil

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. In aquatic chordates they allow for exit of water that enters the mouth. b) Elongations of the posterior portion of the body.
