An endoskeleton (internal skeleton) is a charateristic of vertebrate animals, including humans.
An exoskeleton (external skeleton) is common in arthropods like insects, spiders, and crustaceans.
The heart is the organ that drives the circulatory system. In humans, it consists of four chambers with two that collect blood called atria and two that pump blood called ventricles. The heart's valves prevent blood pumped out of the ventricles from flowing back into the heart.
A neutron is a subatomic particle found in the nucleus of an atom. It is neutral as it carries no electric charge.
Tough fibrous cords of connective tissue called tendons connect muscles to the skeleton while another type of connective tissue called ligaments connect bones to other bones at joints (elbow, knee, fingers, spinal column).
