| vertebrate | an animal with a backbone |
| invertebrate | an animal that does not have a backbone |
| structure | is an arrangement of parts, or organs in an animal that creates something useful for the animal (such as tentacles, eyespots, gills, a stinger, wings, lungs, etc) |

| endoskeleton | a system of connecting bones that is inside an animal's body |
| warm-blooded | a animal has a relatively warm body temperature that stays about the same regardless of changes in the temperature of its surroundings. Birds and mammals are warm blooded |
| mammals | warm blooded vertebrates that have body hair, feed their young with milk from the mammary glands, and give birth to live young |
| mammary glands | the glands in a mammal that produce milk for the young |
| birds | warm-blooded vertebrates that lay eggs, have a body covered with feathers, and have lighweight bones, scaly leggs, wings, a beak, aqnd no teeth |
| cold-blooded | the body temperature of the animal changes as the temperature of the surroundings change |
| reptiles | cold-blooded vertebrates that usually lay eggs, such as snakes, lizards, crocodiles, turtles or dinosaurs. they have a covering of scales or plates and breathe through the lungs |
| amphibians | cold-blooded, smooth skinned vertebrates which can live both on land and in the water. An amphibian hatches as a tadpole in water and breathes through gills. An adult amphibian has legs, air breathing lungs and lives on land |
