| 134796617 | Anatomy | Biological Form | |
| 134796618 | Physiology | Biological Function | |
| 134799716 | Epithelial Tissue | Sheets of cells that cover the outside of the body and lines organs and cavities within the body | |
| 134799717 | Simple Epithelium | Single layer | |
| 134799718 | Stratified Epithelium | Multiple tiers of cells | |
| 134799719 | Psuedostratified Epithelium | A single layer of cells varying in height | |
| 134799720 | Cuboidal Epithelium | Ring of cells | |
| 134799721 | Columnar Epithelium | Columns of 1 large cell in each column | |
| 134799722 | Squamous Epithelium | Cells that can be stacked in the shape of a square or a simple layer of normal sized and shaped cells | |
| 134799723 | Stratified Squamous Epithelium | Skin is composed of this and it regenerates new skin cells by rapid cell division near the Basal Laminu. New cells are pushed out to replace older or sloughed off cells | |
| 134799724 | Connective Tissue | Bind and support other tissues in the body | |
| 134799725 | Loose Connective | Collagenous, elastic, and reticular fibers bind epithelium to underlying tissues and hold organs in place | |
| 134799726 | Bone | Mineralized connective tissue | |
| 134799727 | Adipose Tissue | Specialized loose connective tissue that stores fat in adipose cells distributed throughout its matrix. Each cell contains a large fat droplet that swells when fat is stored and shrinks when the body uses that fat as fuel | |
| 134803125 | Skeletal Muscle Tissue | Voluntary Movements | |
| 134803126 | Cardiac Muscle Tissue | Contractions of the heart | |
| 134803127 | Smooth Muscle Tissue | Involuntary body activities | |
| 134803128 | Nervous Tissue | Sense stimuli and transmit signals in the form of nervous impulse | |
| 134803129 | Neurons | Extensions called axons uniquely specialized to transmit nerve impulses | |
| 134803130 | Glia | Help nourish, insulate, and replenish neurons | |
| 134803131 | Stimulus | Fluctuation in the variable above or below the set point | |
| 134803132 | Receptor/Sensor | Detects the stimulus and triggers a response | |
| 134803133 | Response | A physiological activity that helps return the variable to the set point | |
| 134803134 | Negative Feedback Example | Nervous system triggers sweat to counteract the heat produced by exercise | |
| 134803135 | Positive Feedback Example | The baby's head hitting the receptors of a mother's uterus, causing the opening of the uterus, and great pressure until childbirth | |
| 134803136 | Thermoregulation | Process by which animals maintain an internal temperature within a tolerable range | |
| 134803137 | Endothermic | Animals warmed by heat generated by the metabolism | |
| 134803138 | Ectothermic | Species that get their heat from external sources | |
| 134803139 | Poikilothermic | An animal's body temperature varies with the environment | |
| 134803140 | Homeothermic | An animal's body temperature is constant |
