Biology [r]: The science of life — of complex, self-organizing, information-processing systems living in the past, present or future. ^[e]
Physics [r]: The study of forces and energies in space and time. ^[e]
Biophysics [r]: The study of forces and energies in biological systems. ^[e]
Mechanics [r]: Please do not use this term in your topic list, because there is no single article for it. Please substitute a more precise term. See Mechanics (disambiguation) for a list of available, more precise, topics. Please add a new usage if needed.

Elasticity (physics) [r]: The property of undergoing reversible deformations under applied stress. ^[e]
Flight (biology) [r]: Aerial locomotion by living organisms. ^[e]
Flow (mechanics) [r]: Add brief definition or description
Gyrification [r]: The folding process during brain development, or the extent of folding. ^[e]
Ligament [r]: Add brief definition or description
Muscle [r]: Animal tissue type to generate power for locomotion. ^[e]
Skeleton [r]: An organism's mechanical support structure. ^[e]
- Cytoskeleton [r]: The mechanical scaffold, made up of fibrous proteins, determining the shape of a cell. ^[e]
- Exoskeleton [r]: A mechanical support structure surrounding an organism's soft tissue. ^[e]
- Endoskeleton [r]: A mechanical support structure embedded in an organism's soft tissue. ^[e]
  - Bone [r]: Biomineralized skeletal structure characteristic of vertebrates. ^[e]
Swimming [r]: The act of propelling oneself through water by body movement alone. ^[e]
Tensegrity [r]: The structural integrity achieved by balanced pulling and pushing forces in biological structures or architecture; the word is a linguistic blend of tension and integrity. ^[e]
Viscosity [r]: Add brief definition or description
