Cells
Ability to break off and move to another part of the body to begin a new tumor
Metastasize
Lines body organs/cavities
Epithelial tissue
Stage of mitosis where:
chromatin condenses to become chromosomes and spindle fibers are releases by the centrioles
Prophase
Function of the larynx
Produces sound (voice box)
Function of the red blood cell
Carry oxygen (attracted to iron in hemoglobin). No nucleus/mitochondria. Made in the bone marrow.
The definition of a cancer cell
Cell that does not contribute, replicates out of control, and can metastasize
Controls movement (relaxes and contracts). Includes smooth, skeletal, and cardiac types.
Muscle tissue.
The division of the cytoplasm
Cytokinesis
Left and right branches of the lung
Bronchi (bronchus)
Function of platelets
Help clot blood. Prevent excessive bleeding.
organelles-cells-tissues-organs-organ systems-organisms
Support, connect and anchor. Most abundant in body.
Connective tissue
Stage of mitosis where:
chromosomes are divided into chromatids and chromatids replicate to form two sets of chromosomes
Anaphase
Emphysema
Function of plasma.
Fluid portion of blood. Contains gases, vitamins, sugars, waste.
First person to use the word "cell"
Robert Hooke
Receive info from environment and send electrical impulses.
Nervous tissue.
Stage of mitosis where:
spindle fibers retract, cytoplasm splits via cell plate or cleavage furrow
Structures that lead to the alveoli
bronchioles
Highest pressure blood pathways
Arteries
What DNA stands for.
Deoxyribonucleic acid
Stage of mitosis where:
chromosomes line up along the equator and spindle fibers attach
Metaphase
Site of oxygen/carbon dioxide diffusion
respiratory membrane- alveoli and capillaries
