A disease where bones become weak and brittle due to loss of bone mass.

Inflammation or degeneration of one or more joints, causing pain, swelling, and stiffness

Fibrous connective tissue that attaches muscle to bone or other structures, transmitting force for movement.

Fibrous connective tissue that connects bone to bone, maintaining stability of joints

The longest, strongest bone in the body (thigh bone), connects hip to knee, contains red and yellow marrow

Nerve cell that transmits electrical impulses; essential components include axon, dendrites, terminals

Junction between neurons (or neuron and effector) where signals pass via neurotransmitters across a small gap.

Three protective layers (dura mater, arachnoid mater, pia mater) enveloping the brain and spinal cord

Brain region located below and behind the cerebrum; coordinates balance, posture, and voluntary motion.

Cluster of nerve cell bodies in the peripheral nervous system, acting as relay or processing centers

Light-sensitive tissue lining the back of the eyeball; converts light into electrical signals sent via optic nerve

Spiral, fluid-filled inner ear structure containing the organ of Corti that converts sound waves into nerve impulses.

Brain structure above the nasal cavity that receives and processes smell information from the nose

Small projections on the tongue containing taste buds; aid in gustation through taste receptors

Clear, dome-shaped front surface of the eye; refracts light and provides a protective barrier.
