... warm-blooded hairy quadrupeds having lungs, a four-chambered heart, a left aortic arch, non-nucleated red blood corpuscles, mammary glands for suckling the young and many other features which distinguish them from the reptiles which are believed to have been their ancestors. The lower jaw consists of a single bone on each side, the "dentary" which articulates with the squamosal bone; this contrasts with the jaws of other vertebrates which articulate with the quadrate bone. The teeth of mammals are heterodont and are in sockets. The majority of present-day mammals have a placenta but the two primitive groups, Monotremes and Marsupials have not. 3, record 1, English, - mammal

A few days later the axons arising from both eyes acquire a hairy appearance : they have short side branches along their entire length. The presence of side branches at this age implies that the inputs from both eyes mix with one another. In other words, the neural regions have yet to take on the adult structure, in which each eye has its own specific regions. 1, record 2, English, - side%20branch

Quelques jours plus tard, les axones issus des deux yeux deviennent poilus : de courtes ramifications latérales apparaissent sur toute leur longueur. Ces ramifications latérales sont le signe que les voies d'entrée des deux yeux se mélangent et que les aires neuronales n'ont pas encore leur structure adulte. 1, record 2, French, - branche%20lat%C3%A9rale
