16. Part of brain that is important to the endocrine system because it sends messages from your brain to the pituitary gland and controls body temperature and food intake






17. The center of the chromosome that holds the structure together






18. Also known as the voice box - it is where your voice comes from and made up of cartilege - muscle and ligaments and is found in the trachea






19. Tough muscle tissue that connect bones to muscle






20. Porrtion of the spinal chord that reflects impulses to and from the brain






21. Blood vessels found on the alveoli that transport oxygen to the bloodstream






22. Version of the nervous system that controls things that happen on their own - like heartbeat






23. A type of symmetry that certain invertebrate animals have in which body parts are arranged in a circle around a central point - like the starfish






24. Liquid produced by salivary glands that helps break down chemicals and determine taste by traveling back to the tastebuds

39. A group of mammals that lays eggs






40. The veins that blood returns to the heart and lungs through






41. An aquatic invertabrate that has tentacles - including anemones and jellyfish






42. Neurons that transmit signals between sensory and motor neurons






43. Located under the cerebrum - this part of the brain controls movement






44. The sex glands of women






45. A trait in heredity that appears more frequently in the offspring






46. Extensions on a neuron that stretch out of its body and transmit messages throughout the nervous system






47. Plant cell organelles that trap light energy and enable plants to conduct photosynthesis






48. Uses the major arteries and veins to move oxygen rich blood throughout the body






49. Helps scientists predict heredity from cross - breeding
