The American Cancer Society (ACS) is a nationwide voluntary health organization dedicated to eliminating cancer.

Established in 1913, the society is organized into eleven geographical divisions of both medical and lay volunteers operating in more than 900 offices throughout the United States.

Its home office is located in the American Cancer Society Center in Atlanta, Georgia.

The ACS publishes the journals Cancer, and Cancer Cytopathology.

The large intestine, or the large bowel, is the last part of the gastrointestinal tract and of the digestive system in vertebrates.

Water is absorbed here and the remaining waste material is stored as feces before being removed by defecation.

The prostate (from Ancient Greek προστάτης, prostates, literally "one who stands before", "protector", "guardian") is a compound tubuloalveolar exocrine gland of the male reproductive system in most mammals.

It differs considerably among species anatomically, chemically, and physiologically.

The lungs are the primary organs of respiration in humans and many other animals including a few fish and some snails.

In mammals and most other vertebrates, two lungs are located near the backbone on either side of the heart.

Their function in the respiratory system is to extract oxygen from the atmosphere and transfer it into the bloodstream, and to release carbon dioxide from the bloodstream into the atmosphere, in a process of gas exchange.

Respiration is driven by different muscular systems in different species.

Mammals, reptiles and birds use their musculoskeletal systems to support and foster breathing.

In early tetrapods, air was driven into the lungs by the pharyngeal muscles via buccal pumping, a mechanism still seen in amphibians.

In humans, the primary muscle that drives breathing is the diaphragm.

The lungs also provide airflow that makes vocal sounds including human speech possible.

Skin is the soft outer tissue covering vertebrates.

Other animal coverings, such as the arthropod exoskeleton have different developmental origin, structure and chemical composition.

The adjective cutaneous means "of the skin" (from Latin cutis, skin).

In mammals, the skin is an organ of the integumentary system made up of multiple layers of ectodermal tissue, and guards the underlying muscles, bones, ligaments and internal organs.

Skin of a different nature exists in amphibians, reptiles, and birds.

All mammals have some hair on their skin, even marine mammals like whales, dolphins, and porpoises which appear to be hairless.
