Category 1
About 90% of the cell's life is spent in this phase of the cell cycle.The cell is growing, replicating DNA and getting the cell ready for mitosis.
What is Interphase?
The outer most layer of skin
What is the epidermis?
This type of cell does not have the ability to multiply
A neuron (nerve cell) is an example of this type of cell
What is permanent cell division?
Chromatin is condensing to form chromosomes and centrioles move to opposite ends of the cell and spindle fibers attach the centrioles to the centromeres of each of the chromosomes
What is Prophase?
The inner layer of skin
What is the hypodermis?
This is the most superficial layer of the epidermis. It is a thick layer composed of dead cells
What is the stratum corneum?
Associated with pick-ish color in your palms, under your nails, and on the soles of your feet. Lets you know your blood is well-oxygenated when pink.
What is Hemoglobin?
In this stage of mitosis a nuclear envelope starts to form around the chromosomes that start to unwind to form the threadlike chromatin
What is Telephase?
This cancer is least aggressive but most common for the skin.
What is basal skin cancer?
In this stage of mitosis spindle fibers that attach the centromere to the centrioles shorten and drag the sister chromatids to opposite ends of the cell
What is Anaphase?
This type of cell has the ability to constantly divide. It consists of skin cells, cells lining the gastrointestinal tract, and blood cells in the bone marrow.
What are labile cells?
Chromosomes line up at the middle of the cell along an imaginary line called the equatorial plate
What is Metaphase?
This is the middle layer of the epidermis. It contains granules, which act in waterproofing and production of keratin fibers.
What is the Stratum Granulosum?
Adds the orange-ish pigment to skin.
What is Carotene?
This cell type has the ability to divide when necessary. An example of this is hepatocytes (liver cells) multiplying when the liver is injured.
What is stable cell division?
The brownish pigment to skin.
What is Melanin?
The deepest part of the epidermis.
What is Stratum Basale?
This type of cancer is the most aggressive but least common to the skin.
What is melanoma?
The middle layer of the skin
What is the dermis?
the study of the microscopic structure of tissues.
What is histology?
This type of skin cancer is somewhere in the middle. It is not the most aggressive or most common, but its appears and it is aggressive.
What is Squamous cell carcinoma?
The stratum lucidum is a smooth, seemingly translucent layer of the epidermis located just above the stratum granulosum and below the stratum corneum. This thin layer of cells is found only in the thick skin of the palms, soles, and digits.
What is the Stratum Lucidum?
Actual division of the cytoplasm and the cell. This is not a part of mitosis but a part of the cell cycle.
What is cytokinesis?
This layer of skin is just superficial to the stratum basale and contains keratinocytes
What is the Stratum Spinosum?
the branch of biology concerned with the structure and function of plant and animal cells.
What is cytology?
