Veins flow toward the heart
Circulates blood throughout the body
Nervous System

Stimulus and Response
Respiratory System
Nose, Nasal cavity, Trachea, Lungs
Gas exchange- Taking in oxygen and expelling carbon dioxide
Animal Reproductive System
Female- Ovaries, Uterus, and Vagina
Female produces egg as reproductive cell/gamete. (haploid cell)
Male- Prostate, Testis, Urethra, Penis
Males produce sperm as reproductive cell /gamete. ( haploid cell)
Fertilization - the union of sperm and egg to create zygote (the first diploid cell).
