| any of the many tiny air sacs of the lungs which allow for rapid gaseous exchange. | ALVEOLI / AVEOLUS |
| either of the two primary divisions of the trachea that lead respectively into the right and the left lung | BRONCHI / BRONCHUS |
| eliminates waste from the body, regulate blood volume and blood pressure, control levels of electrolytes and metabolites, and regulate blood pH | EXCRETORY OR URINARY OR RENAL SYSTEM |
| system that in vertebrates is made up of the brain and spinal cord, nerves, ganglia, and parts of the receptor organs and that receives and interprets stimuli and transmits impulses to the effector organs | NERVOUS SYSTEM |
| complex set of neurons that mediate internal homeostasis without conscious intervention or voluntary control. | AUTONOMIC NERVOUS SYSTEM |
| efers to all the neurons (and their supporting cells, or glia) of the body outside the brain and spinal cord | PERIPHERAL NERVOUS SYSTEM |
| chemically controls the various functions of cells, tissues, and organs through the secretion of hormones | ENDOCRINE SYSTEM |
| A chemical substance produced in the body that controls and regulates the activity of certain cells or organs. | HORMONES |
| system of organs and parts which function to produce sex cells in order to carry on the life of a species | REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM |
| system with bones, cartilage, ligaments, bone marrow | SKELETAL SYSTEM |

| a dark brown to black pigment occurring in the hair, skin, and iris of the eye in people and animals. It is responsible for tanning of skin exposed to sunlight. | MELANIN |
| carry oxygen-rich blood away from the heart to other parts of the body | ARTERIES |
| carry oxygen-poor blood back to the heart | VEINS |
| large, flat muscle at the bottom of the chest cavity that helps with breathing; when it is contracted oxygen is inhaled, and when it is relaxed carbon dioxide is exhaled | DIAPHRAGM |
| A group of two or more organs working together for a specific job; | ORGAN SYSTEMS |
| Another name for the Circulatory System | CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEM |
| Includes grinding or chewing your food when you eat | MECHANICAL DIGESTION |
| Changes the composition of food by breaking it down such as with stomach acids | CHEMICAL DIGESTION |
| part of the brain where intelligence, learning, judgement center, and responsible for voluntary movement | CEREBRUM |
| the central trunk of the mammalian brain, consisting of the medulla oblongata, pons, and midbrain, and continuing downward to form the spinal cord; controls balance | CEREBELLUM |
