The pancreas is a gland organ in the digestive system and endocrine system of vertebrates. It is both an endocrine gland producing several important hormones, including insulin, glucagon, somatostatin, and pancreatic polypeptide, and a digestive organ, secreting pancreatic juice containing digestive enzymes that assist the absorption of nutrients and the digestion in the small intestine. TERM 17
DEFINITION 17 The heart is a myogenic muscular organ found in all animals with a circulatory system, which pumps blood throughout the blood vessels by repeated, rhythmic contractions. TERM 18
DEFINITION 18 The small intestine is the part of the gastrointestinal tract following the stomach and followed by the large intestine, and is where much of the digestion and absorption of food takes place. TERM 19
DEFINITION 19 The large intestine is the last part of the digestive system in vertebrate animals. Its function is to absorb water from the remaining indigestible food matter, and then to pass useless waste material from the body. TERM 20

The kidneys are organs that serve several essential regulatory roles in most animals, including vertebrates and some invertebrates. Removes nitrogen from the blood to beexcreted TERM 22
DEFINITION 22 The lung is the essential respiration organ in many air- breathing animals, including most tetrapods, a few fish and a few snails. TERM 23
DEFINITION 23 In vertebrates the gallbladder is a small organ that aids mainly in fat digestion and concentrates bile produced by the liver. TERM 24
DEFINITION 24 The cranial cavity, or intracranial space, is the space formed inside the skull. The brain occupies the cranial cavity, which is lined by the meninges and which contains cerebrospinal fluid to cushion blows. TERM 25
DEFINITION 25 Sagittal plane is a vertical plane which passes from ventral to dorsal (rear) dividing the body into right and left halves.
The integumentary system is the organ system that protects the body from damage, comprising the skin and its appendages. TERM 32
DEFINITION 32 The skeleton is the body part that forms the supporting structure of an organism. TERM 33
DEFINITION 33 Muscle is a soft tissue of animals. Muscle cells contain protein filaments that slide past one another, producing a contraction that changes both the length and the shape of the cell. Movement and HeatSkeletal, Smooth, and Cardiac TERM 34
DEFINITION 34 The respiratory system is the biological system of an organism that introduces respiratory gases to the interior and performs gas exchange. TERM 35
DEFINITION 35 Digestion is the mechanical and chemical breakdown of food into smaller components that are more easily absorbed into a blood stream, for instance.
The urinary system or renal system is the organ system that produces, stores, and eliminates urine. In humans it includes two kidneys, two ureters, the bladder and the urethra. TERM 37
DEFINITION 37 The endocrine system is the system of glands, each of which secretes different types of hormone directly into the bloodstream to regulate the body. TERM 38
DEFINITION 38 The nervous system is an organ system containing a network of specialized cells called neurons that coordinate the actions of an animal and transmit signals between different parts of its body. NeuronsandNeuralgiaor glial cells TERM 39
DEFINITION 39 In medicine and anatomy, the special senses are the senses that have specialized organs devoted to them:Nose, eyes, ears TERM 40
DEFINITION 40 The lymphatic system is a part of the circulatory system, comprising a network of conduits called lymphatic vessels that carry a clear fluid called lymph unidirectionally towards the heart.

DEFINITION 47 Brownian motion or pedesis is the presumably random moving of particles suspended in a fluid (a liquid or a gas) resulting from their bombardment by the fast-moving atoms or molecules in the gas or liquid. TERM 48
