Question

Put together a one page “cheat sheet” focusing on comparing elephants to humans. Include at least one picture with each system to help illustrate your answers. Skeletal System What bone(s) in this animal are the most similar to humans? Why (in terms of function) are they so similar? What bone(s) in this animal are the least similar to humans? Why (in terms of function) are they so different? Nervous System How does the brain anatomy compare to humans? What are the major differences? How do the senses of this animal compare to humans? How do these differences relate to differences in brain anatomy?

Answer 1

Similarly in bones:- like human bones, the elephant's bones contain bone marrow, Bone marrow is spongy tissue inside the bones, sch as skeletal. Boan marrow contains stem cells. The stem cells can develop into the red blood cells which deliver oxygen through your body, the white blood cells that fight against infections, boost immunity, and the platelets that help for blood clotting.

Elephant's skull least similar to humans. The skull is very large with light weight. It is also an attachment site for many muscles that allow the elephant to move its trunk, jaw, and ears. But In comparison, a human's skull is thick but heavy.

Elephant brain had more neurons than the human brain. The elephants have a total of 300 billion neurons. No, the human brain does not have more neurons than larger elephant brain. But the human cerebral cortex has more neurons than large cerebral cortex of the elephant.Elephant brains are similar to humans, dur presence of some similar type of connectivity and functional areas.

The presence of Olfactory receptors helps elephants to detect odors in the environment. That means elephants' sniffers are five times more powerful than human's noses.
