Central Nervous System
This part of the brain controls voluntary movements and fine motor skills.
Cerebellum
These nerves connect the central nervous system to limbs and organs.
Peripheral Nerves
This term describes all the living organisms in a particular area along with their non-living environment.
Ecosystem
This type of adaptation helps an organism blend in with its surroundings to avoid predators.
Camouflage
These factors refer to the non-living components of an ecosystem, such as temperature and water.
Abiotic factors
The central nervous system is composed of two major parts: the brain and this structure.
Spinal Cord
The autonomic nervous system is a part of the peripheral nervous system that controls involuntary functions. It has two divisions: the sympathetic and this other division.
The parasympathetic nervous system
A food web starts with these organisms, which produce their own food through photosynthesis.
Producers
An adaptation where organisms have specialized structures to help them survive in their environment, such as the long neck of a giraffe, is known as a physical or this type of adaptation.
Structural Adaptation
These factors refer to the living components of an ecosystem, such as plants, animals, and microorganisms.
Biotic Factors
This substance surrounds and protects the central nervous system and helps to transmit nerve impulses.
Spinal Fluid
This type of peripheral nerve is responsible for transmitting motor commands from the central nervous system to muscles.
Motor neuron
This term refers to organisms that eat other organisms for energy and nutrients.
Consumers
This type of adaptation involves behaviors or actions that help an organism survive, such as migration in birds.
Behavioral Adaptation
This abiotic factor affects the types of plants that can grow in an ecosystem and their ability to photosynthesize.
Light
This part of the brain is responsible for regulating vital functions such as heartbeat and breathing.
Medulla Oblongata
The peripheral nervous system includes the cranial nerves and these types of nerves that extend from the spinal cord.
Spinal nerves
In a food web, this type of organism breaks down dead plants and animals, returning nutrients to the soil.
Decomposers
The process by which organisms with traits better suited to their environment tend to survive and reproduce more successfully is called this.
Natural Selection
This biotic factor includes all interactions between organisms in an ecosystem, such as competition and predation.
Ecological Interaction
This type of neuron carries signals from sensory receptors to the central nervous system.
Sensory Neuron
This term describes the network of nerves that transmits signals to and from internal organs, including the heart and digestive system.
Autonomic nervous system
This ecological term describes the role and position of an organism within its ecosystem, including its interactions with other organisms.
Niche
The ability of an organism to survive in a new or changing environment due to its adaptations is known as this type of resilience.
Evolutionary resilience
This abiotic factor, which includes both temperature and precipitation, determines the climate of an ecosystem.
