| 14495638045 | RELAY NEURONE | -carry messages from one part of the CNS to another | 161 | |
| 14495638046 | MOTOR NEURONE | A motor neurone sends impulses from the spinal cord/CNS to effector (muscle of gland). | 162 | |

| 14495638074 | absorption | process by which substances are taken into the cell or an organism. | 175 | |
| 14495638075 | assimilation | incorporation of materials into the body of an organism. | 176 | |
| 14495638076 | circulation | process by which materials are distributed (moved) throughout the organism. | 177 | |
| 14495638077 | differentiation | process by which cells become specialized for specific functions. | 178 | |
| 14495638078 | digestion | the breakdown of complex food materials into forms the organism can use. Ex. Going to sleep after eating can be bad for ____. |  | 179 |
| 14495638079 | egestion | elimination of indigestible waste. | 180 | |
