What is DNA (Deoxyribonucleic acid)?
These cells in your blood are essential for the immune system.
What are white blood cells?

What is apoptosis?
The arched bridge of nervous tissue that connects the brain's hemispheres.
What is the corpus callosum?
This genetic disorder causes red blood cells to take on a rigid, crescent shape, which can block blood flow and reduce oxygen delivery to tissues.
What is sickle cell anemia (or sickle cell disease)?
