| A type of cell that allows the eye to sense color | Cones |
| A type of cell that allows the eye to sense black, white and shades of gray. | Rods |
| This disease, often linked to increased intraocular pressure, damages the optic nerve and can lead to permanent vision loss if untreated. It is commonly associated with older adults | Glaucoma |
| This condition, which causes a clouding of the eye’s natural lens, is often age-related but can also occur as a result of trauma, genetics, or long-term exposure to ultraviolet light. | Cataract |
| This common refractive error of the eye is caused by an irregular shape of the cornea or lens, leading to blurred or distorted vision. | Astigmatism |
| This system is responsible for the body's movement and posture. | Muscular System |
| What system is responsible for the body's chemical messaging? | Endocrine System |
| This system filters blood and removes waste products. | Urinary System |
| What system breaks down food into smaller, absorbable nutrients that the body can use for energy, growth, and repair | Digestive System |
| Controls other systems, responds to internal and external changes, and transmits information to the brain | Nervous System |
| Provides oxygen to the body's cells by exchanging gases between air and blood | Respiratory System |
| Supports the body and all of its systems, and protects fragile organs inside the body | Skeletal System |
| Collects excess fluid from tissues and transports it to the bloodstream. Tonsils belong to this system. | Lymphatic System |

| Primary building block of your body's skin, muscles, bones, tendons and ligaments, and other connective tissues. Requires Vitamin C for synthesis. | Collagen |
| These connect bones to other bones, providing stability to joints. Primarily function to limit excessive movement and maintain joint structure. ACL tears are a common knee injury to this structure | Ligaments |
