appendicular skeleton - ✔✔-Bones of the limbs and limb girdles that are attached to the axial skeleton
axial skeleton - ✔✔-The skeleton of the trunk and head
connective tissue - ✔✔-Animal tissue that functions mainly to bind and support other tissues, having a
sparse population of cells scattered through an extracellular matrix

connecting the spinal cord with the forebrain and cerebrum.
central nervous system - ✔✔-The part of the nervous system which in vertebrates consists of the brain

and which supervises and coordinates the activity of the entire nervous system.
cerebellum - ✔✔-A large dorsally projecting part of the brain concerned especially with the coordination
of muscles and the maintenance of bodily equilibrium, situated between the brain stem and the back of
the cerebrum and formed in humans of two lateral lobes and a median lobe.
