 BreastThe paired Organs which are part of the chests of Primates.
 BronchialDuctAny BodyVessel which is located in a Lung and which carries oxygen from the trachea to the alveoli.
 ChestThe part of the Torso that includes the rib cage of an Animal, surrounding the Heart and Lungs.
 ChinA part of the Face which protrudes slightly and which is lower than all other parts of the Face.
 DigitAppendageAny of the extremities of Limbs that are found in the higer Vertebrates and the Amphibians.
 EarThe Organ of Hearing.
 EggThe fertilized or unfertilized female ReproductiveBody of an Animal. This includes Bird and Reptile eggs, as well as mammalian ova.
 ExoskeletonThe system of Bones that are on the Outside of an organism and make up the supporting structure of many Invertebrates.

 FeatherEach instance of this class is one of the structures that make up the external covering of Birds.
 FootThe lower part of a Limb, the part which makes contact with the ground in locomotion of the Animal.
 GastroIntestinalTractThe digestive path of an Animal, consisting of the Mouth, Esophagus, Stomach, Intestines and Rectum.
 GillsA respiratory organ of Fish. Its function is to furnish the blood with oxygen and to remove carbon dioxide.
 HairA filament that covers part of the body of many Mammals.

 KidneyAn Organ that separates Urine from other BodySubstances and passes it to the Bladder.
 LimbAny of the limbs of a Vertebrate. Animal Appendages with joints that are used for movement and grasping.
 LipFolds of Tissue surrounding the mouths of some Vertebrates.
 LiverAn Organ that secretes bile and serves metabolic functions.
 LungA respiratory organ of Vertebrates. Its function is to furnish the blood with oxygen and to remove carbon dioxide.
 MouthPart of the Face, used for Ingesting Food and Vocalizing.
 NailDigitAny of the horny structures which are found on the DigitAppendages of Primates and other Animals. This includes fingernails and toenails.
 NeckThe part of the body that connects the Head to the rest of the body.
 NerveCellThe Cells that make up a NervousSystem.
 NervousSystemA system in Vertebrates that is made up of the Brain, the spinal cord, nerves, etc.

 NostrilEither of two BodyVessels that run through the Nose and connect it to the Throat.
 PericardiumThe pericardium, also called pericardial sac, is a double-walled sac containing the Heart and the roots of the great vessels. It has two layers, an outer layer made of strong connective Tissue (fibrous pericardium), and an inner layer made of serous membrane (serous pericardium). It encloses the pericardial cavity, which contains pericardial fluid, and defines the middle mediastinum. It separates the heart from interference of other structures, protects it against infection and blunt trauma, and lubricates the heart's movements.[from Wikipedia]
 RectumThe rectum is part of the GastroIntestinalTract, which is the path that Food takes from the Mouth to the Anus.
 RespiratoryTractA BodyVessel the path taken by Air through the Nose or Mouth then the Trachea, to the Lungs of a Mammal.
 RetinaA membrane that covers the Eye and converts the image formed by the lens of the Eye into neurochemical impulses which can be processed by the Brain.
 RibCageThe Ribs and sternum that form the Chest.
 ShoulderThe part of a Primate between the Arm and the neck.
 SkeletonThe system of Bones that make up the supporting structure of Vertebrates.
 SkinA BodyCovering that comprises part of the surface of Animals.
 SpinalColumnA flexible column made out of bones called vertebrae. The main function of the SpinalColumn is to protect the spinal cord.
 SpleenAn Organ on the left side of the body that produces Cells that play a crucial role in immune response.
 StomachA muscular sac that is the principal organ of digestion.
 TailA BodyPart which extends from the rear of the main body of some Vertebrates.
 ThroatA BodyVessel which connects the Mouth to the lungs and stomach.
