Explanation / Answer

neurotransmitters-A serotonin, norepinephrine, dopamine

active immunity- I it happens when you make your own antibodies from exposure to pathogen an

olfaction- H sense of smell

PTH- M increases the calcium levels in the blood, weakens the bone and is counter acted by the calcitonin

surfactant- K phospholipid that prevents alveoli from collapsing during respiration as the surface tension in the lungs increases.

calcitonin- N reduces calcium levels in the blood, strengthens the bone and is secreted in response to the increased levels of calcium by the PTH hormone.

cochlea- J functions for hearing.

near-sighted- L can see near, not far. this condition is called myopia and the vision is blurry in the case of long distance.

rods- G function for night vision

cones- F function for color vision
