An atom is the smallest component of an element that still retains the properties of the element.

The cerebrum is the major part of the brain and is responsible for the main senses (thinking, hearing, seeing).

The columns of the Periodic Table are called groups and all elements in a group have the same number of electrons in their outer electron shell. The group that an element occupies generally determines its chemical properties as the number of outer shell electrons establishes the way it reacts with other elements to form molecules. So, because each element has the same number of electrons in its outer shell, each has similar reactivity.

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.

Small quantities of certain minerals like iron, calcium, magnesium, and salt are important for nutrition and health.
