An atom is the smallest component of an element that still retains the properties of the element.
The Doppler effect occurs when the source or listener (or both) of sound waves is moving. If they're moving closer together, the listener perceives the sound with a higher pitch and, when they're moving apart, the listener perceives the sound with a lower pitch.
An endoskeleton (internal skeleton) is a charateristic of vertebrate animals, including humans.
After air enters through the nose, it passes through the nasal cavity which filters, moistens, and warms it. Further filtering takes place in the pharynx, which also helps protect against infection, and then in the trachea which is just past the epiglottis, responsible for preventing food from entering the airway.
Small quantities of certain minerals like iron, calcium, magnesium, and salt are important for nutrition and health.
