| Endoskeleton | the sum total of all bones in the body |
| Vertebrates | All creatures with a vertebral column backbones. |
| Axial skeleton | The portion of the skeleton that supports and protects the head, neck, and trunk. |

| Invertebrates | Organisms from kingdom Animalia with no backbone. |
| Exoskeleton | A body covering, typically made of chitin, that provides support and protection. |
| Arthropods | Animals with exoskeletons, such as grasshoppers. |
| Tendon | connective tissue that attaches the skeletal muscles to the skeleton. |
| Cartilage | A tough, flexible substance that allows joints to rub up against each other without damage. |
| Ligament | connective tissue that attaches bone to bone |
| Synovial fluid | Lubricates the joints so that their motion is smooth and easy. |
| Involuntary muscles | Muscles that cause involuntary movement, which is movement made without conscious thought. |
| Phototropism | The tendency of plants to grow so that they face the light. |
| Gravotropism | The tendency for a plant to sense which way is "up" and to grow that way. |
| Epidermis | Outer layer of skin |
| Dermis | The inner layer below the epidermis |
| Hypodermis | Below the dermis and composed mostly of fat. It is not technically considered part of the skin |
