The blue whale is known to be the biggest as well as the heaviest mammary glands.

Explanation:

Blue whale or <em>Balaenoptera musculus</em> has a long and slender body and the body may be of various shades. They fall under the family which involves humpback whale, the fin whale, and minke whale. It is believed the whales family to have diverged from other families of suborder Mysticeti. They feed almost on krill and small numbers of copepods. Mating season starts in later autumn and continues till the end of the winter.  

Out of all the animal species present on the earth, blue whale is known to have the largest mammary glands which are about 1.5 meters in length and weigh around 250 pounds. This is similar to the baby elephant and rather than that of the terrestrial mammal like breasts, whales comprise of mammary slits from where the baby whale nudges to suck out the milk.  

Underwater mammary glands do not function like humans. This is because they do not have anything which resembles the breast of human. Secondly, all the whales comprise of inverted mammary gland which will only come out with the stimulation which is made by the baby whale. The milk is ejected from the breasts and not sucked.

Why are the filamentous body forms of slime molds (myxomycetes and acrasiomycetes), water molds (oomycetes) and the hyphae of fu
Sliva [168]

It is because convergent evolution represents the independent evolution of similar features in species that don't have the same ancestor. In this case filamentous body forms evolved independently, but have the same function: an adaptation for a nutrition of decomposers.

Amiraneli [1.4K]

The correct macthing of the organs with their organ systems is as follows.

1. Digestive system - intestines.

2. Central nervous system - brain.

3. Respiratory system - tracheal system.

4. Excretory system - bladder.

Digestive system is made up of the alimentary canal consisting of the digestive organs and the glands. Among the digestive organs, the intestines play a major role in the process of digestion. The small intestine is the site of complete digestion which is associated with the pancreas and liver. The large intestine is involved the absorption of water from the digested food and remaining waste material is stored and thrown out of the body during defecation.

The central nervous system is made up of the brain and the spinal cord. The brain makes the largest part and the functional of the central nervous system. It controls most of the activities of the body. It is made up of three parts called the cerebrum, cerebellum and medualla oblongata and is protected by the skull.

The respiratory system is divided into the upper respiratory tract consisting of the nasal cavity, pharynx and larynx, and the lower respiratory tract consisting of the trachea, bronchi, bronchioles and the alveoli. The trachea or the wind pipe is a cylindrical tube infront of the oesophagus, supported by 16-20 C-shaped hyaline cartilage. It serves as a passage for air to move in and out of the lungs.

The excretory system is made up of a pair of kidneys, a pair of ureters, an urinary bladder and an urethra. The urine produced by the kidney flows through the ureters and is collected in the urinary bladder. A spinchter (a ring of muscle) guards the opening of the bladder into the urethra and relaxes only at the time of urination under the impulse from the brain.
