The process by which cartilage is replaced by bone.

Joint

Any place where to bones meet.

Brain

The main control unit of Central nervous system.

Liver

This organ filter blood to removes amino acids and neutralize some harmful toxins.

Prostate Gland

Produces fluid element in semen that stimulate the motility of the sperm.

Cerebrum

The largest part of the brain, it controls mental activities and movement.

Arteries

These carry blood away from the heart.

These is where the digestive process begins.

Cytoplasm

The clear jelly like substance that surrounds the nucleus of a cell

Brain stem

This part of the nervous system controls many automatics body function like the heartbeat and the breathing.

Chromosomes

These cell component are comprised of DNA and the pass on traits of parent cells to new cells.

Skeletal System

This system gives the body shape and support.

Ligament

This tissue connects one bone to another.

Smooth Muscle

These muscle control involuntary movements like, breathing,digestion, etc.

Stapedectomy

This surgical procedure consists of removing an ear bone that has thickened and no longer transmit sound waves and replacing it with an artifical implant to improve hearing.

Plasma

More than 55% of the blood is made up of this yellowish liquid.
