This Concept Map, created with IHMC CmapTools, has information related to: Dog Sensory Systems 091918, Taste with the Adaptive Function / Current Utility, Internal Control Mechanism being they also possess a tapetum lucidum, air (with chemicals) above the bone allowing for small "sniffs" to capture the chemicals (not deep inhalations, needed by humans), they have a and broader frequency range than humans (with some ultrasonic hearing) (with some hearing below the human range = "infrasonic" hearing and possess the ability to easily & rapidly move their ears, Smell with the Adaptive Function / Current Utility, Dog Sensory Systems are less well developed than humans (2) (same 2 as for cats), better developed than humans (3) (similar to cats) including Smell, Smell with the Internal Control Mechanism, Hearing with the Internal Control Mechanism, a large olfactory cortex (with 40x more receptors than humans) allowing for 40x more sensitivity, Adaptive Function / Current Utility being ????, adaptation to low light levels allowing for increased ability to hunt in low light, Adaptive Function / Current Utility being increased survival & reproduction (when smelling pheromones), less well developed than humans (2) (same 2 as for cats) including Color Vision, Internal Control Mechanism being a large olfactory cortex (with 40x more receptors than humans), they also possess a tapetum lucidum ???? ????, decreased predation rates on dogs (because they hear well) leading to increased survival, Internal Control Mechanism being ????, Crepuscular / Night Vision with the Internal Control Mechanism, Internal Control Mechanism being a bony shelf in the nose (that humans lack)
