Term | Definition |
Cloaca | It is a chamber that receives the digestive wastes, urinary waste, and eggs or sperm before they leave the body. It is present in amphibians, reptiles, birds, fishes such as sharks and monotremes. |
Nictitating membrane | It is a transparent or translucent eyelid present in some animals that can move across the eye to protect itunderwater and keep it from drying out on land. This membrane moistens the eye while maintaining vision. |
Ectotherm | It is an animal that cannot regulate its body temperature. In these animals,internal physiological sources of heat are relatively small. They are called cold-blooded animals. |
Tympanic membrane | It is a large external oval shape membrane made up of non-glandular skin in amphibians such as frogs. It is located just behind the eye. It does not process sound waves; it simply transmits them to the inner part of the ear. |
