1
Mechanical Input
signals that enter the body through physical touch or vibration
New cards
2
Messages
are received, processed, and a response is sent out
New cards
3
Behavior
what a plant or animal does
New cards
4
Response
what your body does in reaction to a stimulus
New cards
5
Organ
structure that is made up of different kinds of tissue
New cards
6
Absorption
process by which nutrients move from the digestive system into the bloodstream, to be delivered to all cells by the circulatory system
New cards
7
Chemical Input
a chemical that enters the body
New cards
8
Nerve Cell
Also called a neuron. It is also cells that carry information through your nervous system
New cards
9
circulatory system
When oxygen moves into the bloodstream this system delivers it to all the cells and carries back carbon dioxide to be expelled
New cards
10
Respiratory system
moves oxygen into the body and carbon dioxide out of the body
New cards
11
Stimulus
a signal in the environment that makes you react
New cards
12
Respiratory and circulatory system
The oxygen brought in by these systems are used to release energy from sugar in your food
New cards
13
Circulatory system
brings materials such as oxygen to all cells and takes away waste from those cells such as carbon dioxide
New cards

Sensory Receptors
a nerve ending that sends signals to the central nervous system when it is stimulated
New cards
25
Brain
organ that serves as the primary control center of the nervous system
New cards
26
Least complex - most complex
Cells - tissue - organs - organ systems - organism
New cards
27
Levels of Organization
A group of specialized cells build tissue A group of tissue builds an organ A group of organs build an organ system A group of organ systems build an organism
New cards
28
Nervous system
tells your muscles when and how to act and controls movement
New cards
29
Skeletal system
when muscles are told to move they pull on the bones of this system to allow for movement
New cards
30
Central Nervous System
consists of your Brain and Spinal cord
New cards
31
Peripheral Nervous System
consists of nerves
New cards
32
Multicellular organism
all the organ systems work together
New cards
33
Excretory system
eliminates waste from the body
New cards
34
