  1. 1. The study of the functions of cells, tissues, and organs of the animal
  2. 2. Bone, Supports the body and provides rigidity for standing and moving (e.g., leg bones)
  3. 3. Marrow, Found in long bone shafts and flat bones, location of blood cell production
  4. 4. Birds of any kind, raised for agricultural purposes
  5. 9. Bone, Irregularly shaped bones important for CNS protection and muscle attachment (e.g., vertebrae)
  6. 11. A group of tissues working together for a common purpose
  7. 14. A system where all organs work together within one body
  8. 16. System, Provides support, movement, protection, mineral storage, and blood cell formation
  9. 18. System, A group of organs working together for a common purpose
  10. 21. Bone, Thin, flat, often curved bones that protect vital organs (e.g., scapula, skull, ribs)
