Sensory nerves
This is the largest artery of the body
Aorta
The thin layer of tissue that surrounds the cell
Cell membrane
Contacts & moves various parts of the body
Muscle

Integumentary
These nerves carry impulses from the brain to the muscles or glands.
Motor nerves
These are thin-walled blood vessels that carry blood containing waste products to the heart & lungs
Veins
The process of cell reproduction that occurs when the cell divides into 2 identical daughter cells
Mitosis
Carries messages to & from the brain & controls & coordinates all bodily functions
Nerve
The function of this system is to control hormone levels within the body to determine growth
Endocrine
These are whitish bundles of nerve fibers that transmit impulses.
Nerves
These are main arteries on both sides of the neck that supply blood to the head, face, and neck
