What is Mitosis?
A burn that completely destroys the dermis and epidermis.
What is a Third-Degree Burn?
The short-term stiffening after death.
What is rigor mortis?
A stimulus strong enough to trigger an action potential.
What is a Threshold Stimulus?
Bundles of parallel axons and their coverings.
What is White Matter?
A waterproofing protein.
What is Keratin?
Loose connective tissue that connects the skin to the bone or muscle.
What is the Hypodermis?
The process of chewing.

What are Stable cells?
A cell that breaks down bone.
What is a Osteoclast?
Where the muscle's tendon attaches to the more movable bone.
What is an Insertion?
The ability to undergo an action potential in response to a stimulus.

The packaging plants of the cell.
What are Golgi apparatuses?
Bone formation.
What is Ossification?
The repeating unit of a myofibril.
What is a Sarcomere?
An action potential that can "jump" from section to section in a myelinated axon.

Connections of neuron axons that allow different parts of the brain to communicate.
What are Commissures?
A group of specialized tissues for a particular function.
What is an Organ?
The hormone produced by the parathyroid glands.
