These balloonlike organs that inflate and deflate, bringing air into and out of the body.

What are the lungs?

100
Tiny cells which send signals to the brain. They are also known as nerve cells.
What are neurons?

These disc shaped cells transport oxygen from the lungs to the other parts of the body.
What are red blood cells?
200

The chemical released to regulate blood sugar.

What is insulin?

200
Food travels down this long tube from the mouth to the stomach.
What is the esophagus?
200

Small grape-shaped sacs in the lungs which allow oxygen and carbon dioxide to move between the lungs and blood stream.

The central nervous system is composed of the brain as well as this long structure that extends down the back and is the connector between the brain and all other parts of the body.
What is the spinal cord?

Double Jeopardy: These blood cells are a vital part of the body's immune system.
What are white blood cells?
300

The gland that releases the hormone insulin.

What is the pancreas?
