  6. 8. also known as nerve cell; cells that make up the nerves, brain, and spinal cord and transmit nerve impulses
  7. 9. the study of human body structure that can be seen with the naked eye and how the body parts are organized and the science of the structure of organisms or of their parts
  8. 11. cells dividing into two new cells (daughter cells); the usual process of cell reproduction of human tissues
  9. 12. the central part, core
  10. 14. tissue that controls and coordinates all body functions
  11. 16. a chemical process taking place in living organisms whereby the cells are nourished and carry out their activities;
  12. 17. basic unit of all living things; minute mass of protoplasm capable of performing all the fundamental functions of life
