abduction - muscles that draw a body part, such as a finger, arm, or toe, away from the

controls the motion of the neck and shoulder muscles
adduction - muscles that draw a body part, such as a finger, arm, or toe, inward toward

together.
adenosine triphosphate (ATP) - transports chemical energy within cells for metabolism
adipose tissue - a specialized connective tissue considered fat, which gives smoothness
and contour to the body and cushions and insulates the body
adrenal glands - glands that are located at the top of the kidneys assisting in the
regulation of metabolism, stress response and blood pressure, and support of the

the science of the structure of organisms or of their parts
aorta - the body's largest artery, the arterial trunk that carries blood from the heart to be
distributed by branch arteries through the body
arteries - thick-walled muscular, flexible tubes that carry oxygenated blood from the
heart to the capillaries throughout the body
arterioles - small arteries that deliver blood to capillaries
auricularis muscles - the three muscles of the ear that work together to move the ear
upward, forward, or backward
auriculotemporal nerve - affects the external ear and skin above the temple, up to the
top of the skull
autonomic nervous system - abbreviated ANS; the part of the nervous system that
controls the involuntary muscles; regulates the action of the smooth muscles, glands,
blood vessels and heart
belly - the middle part of the muscle
biceps - muscle producing the contour of the front and inner side of the upper arm. [Show Less]
