protect
There is no previous basis for the "tails" to have to "protect" themselves from water. This would be a great place to add the term amphipathic to go along with hydrophobic and hydrophilic. Also to unpack polar and nonpolar molecules interacting. I have used magnets as my example for polar molecules and plastic as the nonpolar so students grab the idea that polar molecules stick together while nonpolar molecules have no affinity for the polar molecules.

Glossary
Add afferent and efferent pathway to the list as noted earlier.

Sensor/Receptor: A sensor, also known as a receptor, monitors a physiological value, such as temperature, respiratory rate, blood pressure, etc. This value is reported to the control center. Control Center: The control center compares the value to the normal range. If the value has changed too much from the set point, then the control center activates an effector. Effector: An effector reverses the situation and returns the value to the set point or normal range.
Afferent and efferent pathways would be good terms to add to this list.

Pleura: The pleura is the serous membrane surrounding the lungs, reducing friction between the lungs and the chest wall. Pericardium: The pericardium is the serous membrane that surrounds the heart, reducing friction caused by the beating of the heart. Peritoneum: The peritoneum is the serous membrane that surrounds several organs in the abdominopelvic cavity, reducing friction between the organs and the abdominal wall
At the end of this section it would help to see the visceral and parietal terms used with the membrane/cavity terms. ie. visceral pericardium and parietal pericardium to help students see the pattern of naming membranes. This has been a difficult concept for students to grasp for a long time.

Thoracic cavity
A further break down of the thoracic cavity to include the pleural cavity, pericardial cavity, and superior mediastinum terms would be helpful here. The information is a part of the diagram, but the terms are not found in the descriptive text.

Table 1.5.
I don't see "intermediate" in the list of terms. That would be good to add.
