What is gas exchange?
This part of the nervous system includes the brain and spinal cord.
What is the central nervous system?
This lobe of the brain is responsible for attention, thought, and decision making.
What is the frontal lobe?
This system eliminates waste and maintains fluid balance.
What is the urinary / renal system?
This chamber of the heart pumps oxygenated blood to the rest of the body.
What is the left ventricle?
These structures prevent backflow of blood within the heart chambers.
What are heart valves?
This part of the nervous system includes a network of nerves that spread throughout the body.
What is the peripheral nervous system?
This part of the brain controls balance and coordination.
What is the cerebellum?
This body system is responsible for producing hormones that regulate growth, metabolism, and reproduction.
What is the endocrine system?

This valve is located between the right atrium and right ventricle.
What is the tricuspid valve?
The smallest blood vessels in the body that deliver oxygen and nutrients while picking up waste from tissues.
What are capillaries?
This group of brain structures located near the spinal cord are the most ancient parts of the brain.
What is the brain stem?
This lobe of the brain is responsible for integration of sensory information, including spatial processing.
What is the parietal lobe?
