The fluid component of blood responsible for transporting nutrients, waste products, hormones, and other substances.

A type of white blood cell responsible for fighting infection by engulfing and destroying pathogens.

The process of air moving into and out of the lungs, which involves changes in lung volume and air pressure.

The exchange of gases between the alveoli and the blood in the pulmonary capillaries.

The breakdown of food into smaller molecules that can be absorbed by the body.

A process that moves food through the digestive tract using coordinated muscle contractions.

The site in the digestive system where the majority of chemical digestion and nutrient absorption occurs.

The organ that synthesizes bile, which helps break down fats.

The organ that releases pancreatic juice, which contains enzymes for digesting carbohydrates, proteins, and fats.

The process of the body absorbing oxygen and releasing carbon dioxide from the blood into the tissues.

The skeletal system provides support for the body, protects vital organs, enables movement, stores minerals, and produces blood cells.

The axial skeleton includes the skull, vertebral column, and thoracic cage.

The appendicular skeleton includes the bones of the limbs and the structures that connect them to the axial skeleton.

Bones are connective tissues that are categorized as long, short, flat, or irregular based on their shape and function.

The muscular system is responsible for movement, posture, respiration, heat production, communication, and the contraction of organs and vessels.

The sliding filament model explains how muscles contract by the interaction of proteins called actin and myosin.

The nervous system receives sensory input, integrates information, controls muscles and glands, maintains homeostasis, and is responsible for mental activity.

The autonomic nervous system controls involuntary functions, with the parasympathetic division responsible for rest and digest functions, and the sympathetic division responsible for fight or flight responses.
