The cells of all living things are composed of this substance
what is protoplasm

what is connective tissue
forms the physical foundation of the body; consists of the bones and movable and immovable joints
what is the skeletal system
forms the back of the skull above the nape
what is the occipital bone
the chest consisting of the sternum, ribs, and thoracic vertebrae; it is elastic, bony cage that serves as a protective framework for the heart, lungs, and other internal organs
what is the thorax
this determines our genetic makeup, including the color of our eyes, skin, and hair
what is deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA)
Carries messages through the central nervous system to control and coordinate all bodily functions.
what is nerve tissue
Carries messages through the central nervous system, controlling and coordinating all bodily functions
what is the nervous system
the smallest and most fragile bones of the face, situated at the front inside part of the eye socket
what are the lacrimal bones
U-shaped bone at the base of the tongue that supports the tongue and its muscles
what is the hyoid bone
Take in nutrients, break them down, and create energy for the cell.
What is Mitochondria
A protective lining on cavities of the body and surfaces of organs
what is epithelial tissue
protects the body from disease by developing resistances and destroying disease-causing toxins, foreign material, and bacteria

the light, spongy bone between the eye sockets the forms part of the nasal cavity
what is the ethmoid bone
also known as the collarbone, the bone that joins the sternum and scapula
what is the clavicle
the part of the cell that encloses the protoplasm and permits soluble substances to enter and leave
what is the cell membrane
stores energy and gives smoothness and contour to the body
what is adipose tissue
covers, shapes, and supports the skeletal tissue; also contracts and moves various parts of the body; consists of muscle
what is the muscular system
form the upper jaw
what are the maxillae bones
the seven bones of the top part of the vertebral column located in the neck region
what is the cervical vertebrae
chemical energy used within cells for metabolism
what is ATP (adenosine triphosphate)
contracts and moves the various parts of the body
what is muscle tissue
affects growth, development, sexual activities, and normal regulatory processes of the body; consists of specialized glands
what is the endocrine system
forms the sides of the eye socket
what is the sphenoid bone
also known as breastbone the flat bone that forms the ventral support of the ribs
what is the sternum
