A
This term means the partial or complete wasting away of a body part, tissue, or organ.
Atrophy
It is the stage of cell division (mitosis and meiosis) where duplicated chromosomes are separated and pulled toward opposite poles of the cell
Anaphase
Adipose tissue is mainly made of what?
Fat cells
It is the barrier that surrounds all cells. It acts as a gatekeeper, separating the cell's interior from its external environment while selectively regulating the movement of substances—such as nutrients, water, and waste—in and out.
Plasma Membrane
Popularly known as the "powerhouses of the cell,"?
Mitochondria
In the cell, it acts as the cellular "post office," responsible for modifying, sorting, and packaging proteins and lipids synthesized in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) before they are sent to their final destinations.
Golgi apparatus
It is an organelle, It is primarily responsible for organizing the cell's microtubules—acting as the cell's structural skeleton—and are absolutely essential for cell division?
Centrioles
It is a type of tissue, it is an involuntary muscle tissue found in the walls of hollow organs, blood vessels, and airways?
Smooth muscle tissue
It is the spongy tissue inside your bones responsible for producing all of your red blood cells, platelets, and most white blood cells?
Red bone marrow
It is a firm, flexible connective tissue that acts as a shock absorber and structural support throughout the body?
Cartilage
It is one of the two major bones in the forearm, located on the thumb side.
Radius
What is the term for an opening in a bone through which blood vessels, nerves, and ligaments pass?
Foramen
It is a single layer of tall, column-shaped cells that line organs, primarily functioning in absorption, secretion, and protection.
Simple columnar epithelium
What is the term that describes the movement of water molecules across a semi-permeable membrane?
Osmosis
It is a rare, protective tissue type consisting of two or more cell layers with cube-shaped cells at the surface.
Stratified cuboidal epithelium
What are the three types of muscles found in the body?
Smooth, cardiac, skeletal
Which motion turns the palm of the hand downward or backward?
Pronation
It is a type of anatomical movement that straightens a joint, increasing the angle between two bones or body parts?
Extension
Which muscle movement decreased the angle between two bones example is bending your arm?
Flexion
What type of muscle tissue demonstrates no visible striations, one nucleus per cell and spindle-shaped cells?
Smooth
It is a muscle that separates the thoracic cavity from the abdomino-pelvic cavity?
Diaphragm
An incomplete, "bending" break mostly seen in children, where one side of the bone splinters but doesn't break entirely.
Greenstick
The human body is made up of four primary types of tissues, what are they?
Epithelial, Connective, Muscle and Nervous
What are the three smallest bones in the human body?
Malleus, incus and stapes
Which molecule in the cell acts a messenger carrying instructions for protein synthesis?
RNA
