| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Respiration | Respiratory gaseous exchange (carbon dioxide and oxygen) between living organisms and the environment. |
| Homeostasis | The capacity to maintain a relatively constant internal environment, irrespective of the external or internal environmental changes. |
| Catabolism | The breakdown of compounds that are relatively complex into simpler compounds and energy. |
| Enzymes | These are functional protein whose role in chemical reactions entails bring large molecules together and splitting them. |
| Nerve cells | These are cells sensitive to stimuli whose role is to detect changes in the external and internal environment and transmit impulses from one body part to another |
| Exocytosis | It is the process than enables large molecules, specifically protein to cross the plasma membrane of the cell, despite their large size. |
| Mitosis | The process in which DNA is organized and distributed during cell division. |
| Epithelial tissue | It is the lining that covers and protects external parts of the body, certain body cavities, and aids in the movement of substances inside and outside specific body organs |
| Regeneration | The process by which tissues repair themselves through the action of phagocytic cells, which remove injured or dead cells to facilitate new tissue growth. |
| Connective tissues | These are tissues situated around and in almost all organs whose role is to defend, transport, support, and and connect. |
| Melanin | It is a pigment produced by melanocytes situated in the epidermis, which determines the skin color. |
| Ligaments | These are fibrous tissues whose role is to hold the bones in position, forming an organized skeleton. |

| Vertebral column | It is a flexible column forming the skeleton's longitudinal axis |
| Pelvic girdle | It is a circular, stable base that attaches the lower extremities and and supports the trunk of the skeleton |
