  - - - Somatic Nervous System
        
        The somatic nervous system is a component of the peripheral nervous system associated with the voluntary control of the body movements via the use of skeletal muscles.
      - Autonomic Nervous System
        
        The autonomic nervous system is a control system that acts largely unconsciously and regulates bodily functions, such as the heart rate, digestion, respiratory rate and pupillary response
        
        Sympathetic Nervous System
        
        The sympathetic nervous system directs the body's rapid involuntary response to dangerous or stressful situations. A flash flood of hormones boosts the body's alertness and heart rate, sending extra blood to the muscles. This is known as the fight or flight system.
        
        Parasympathetic Nervous System
        
        Sometimes called the rest and digest system, the parasympathetic system conserves energy as it slows the heart rate, increases intestinal and gland activity, and relaxes sphincter muscles in the gastrointestinal tract.
        
        Once these nervous system's are balanced, you reach a state of homeostasis
  - - - The two main functions of the mouth are eating and speaking. Parts of the mouth include the lips, vestibule, mouth cavity, gums, teeth, hard and soft palate, tongue and salivary glands.
    - - The esophagus is a muscular tube connecting the throat (pharynx) with the stomach. The esophagus is lined by moist pink tissue called mucosa. The esophagus runs behind the windpipe (trachea) and heart, and in front of the spine.
    - - The stomach is a muscular organ located on the left side of the upper abdomen. The stomach receives food from the esophagus. The stomach secretes acid and enzymes that digest food.
    - - The small intestine or small bowel is an organ in the gastrointestinal tract where most of the absorption of nutrients and minerals from food takes place. It lies between the stomach and large intestine, and receives bile and pancreatic juice through the pancreatic duct to aid in digestion.
    - - The large intestine is the portion of the digestive system most responsible for absorption of water from the indigestible residue of food.
    - - The liver is an organ about the size of a football. It sits just under your rib cage on the right side of your abdomen. The liver is essential for digesting food and ridding your body of toxic substances.
    - - The gallbladder is a small pouch that sits just under the liver. The gallbladder stores bile produced by the liver. After meals, the gallbladder is empty and flat, like a deflated balloon.
    - - The pancreas is an abdominal organ that is located behind the stomach and is surrounded by other organs, including the spleen, liver and small intestine. The pancreas plays an important role in digestion and in regulating blood sugar.
  - - - Hypothalamus
        
        The hypothalamus secretes hormones that stimulate or suppress the release of hormones in the pituitary gland, in addition to controlling water balance, sleep, temperature, appetite, and blood pressure.
      - Thyroid Gland
        
        The thyroid gland is located in front of the neck, below the larynx (voice box). The thyroid plays an important role in the body's metabolism.
      - Pituary
        
        The pituitary gland is located below the brain. Usually no larger than a pea, the gland controls many functions of the other endocrine glands.
      - Pineal Body
        
        The pineal body is located below the corpus callosum, in the middle of the brain. It produces the hormone melatonin, which helps the body know when it's time to sleep.
      - Adrenal Gland
        
        An adrenal gland is located on top of each kidney. The adrenal glands make and release corticosteroid hormones and epinephrine that maintain blood pressure and regulate metabolism.
