representing the first neurons of the olfactory pathway.
                         Sense organs (organa sensuum) are organs that provide the body's connection
                  with  the  external  environment. Stimuli  received  from  the  external  environment  are
                  perceived by receptors.
                         The liver (hepar) is the largest organ of the abdominal cavity. It has important
                  diverse functions, is closely related to the digestive system, produces bile.
                         Vertebra is a bony segment of the vertebral column. It has a body and an arc
                  located  behind  the  body  and  bounding  the  vertebral  opening  together  with  it.
                  Connecting, the vertebral openings form the spinal canal, in which the spinal cord is
                  located.
                         The oral cavity (cavitas oris) is the initial part of the digestive system. By means
                  of teeth and gums, it is divided into the vestibule of the mouth and the oral cavity itself.
                         The ribs (costae) are curved bone plates, flattened laterally and slightly twisted
                  in length. Each rib consists of a bony part and rib cartilage. The length of the edges
                  increases from I to VII and decreases from VII to XII.
                         The heart (cor) is a hollow, four-chambered, cone-shaped muscular organ whose
                  function ensures continuous blood flow through the blood vessels. It is located behind
                  the sternum in the middle mediastinum of the thoracic cavity.
                         Synapse (synapsis) is a specialized contact that determines the polarization of a
                  nerve impulse along a chain of neurons. There are synapses with chemical and electrical
                  transmission.
                         The skull (cranium) is the skeleton of the head, serves as a receptacle for the
                  brain, sensory organs of the initial parts of the digestive and respiratory systems. The
                  skull is divided into cerebral and internal.
