These are the basic building blocks of life; the legos; the units which make up tissues, which then make up organs.
What are cells?
100
I am the phase which "start up" mitosis.
What is early prophase?
100
The name of the "unit" of bone that compact bone is arranged into.
What is an "osteon" or a "haversian system"?
100
This is a big hole.
What is a foramen?
100
The 4 MAJOR tissue types that we have discussed.
What is epithelial, connective, muscular and nervous?
200
AKA the hormone system.
What is the endocrine system?
200
Not a phase of mitosis, but a "happening"; I am the pinching of the two cytoplasmic masses.
What is cytokenisis?
200
My purpose is to provide a route of blood flow and system of nerves through the bone. I run parallel to the diaphysis.
What is a central, or Haversian, canal?
200
Like a "tuber", or a potatoe - a circular knoby process.
What is a tubercle or a tuberocity?
200
My primary responsibilities are protection, absorbtion, and secretion.
What is epithelial tissue?
300
My system contains vessels, nodes, the spleen, tonsils, and thyamus.
What is lymphatic/immune?
300
A noteable aspect of my phase is the chromosomes lining upon the equator.
What is metaphase?
300
I'm a canal radiating from lacuna to lacuna, providing nourishment "stations".
What is/are canaliculi?
300
A sharp, slender projection. An example is found on your back!
What is a spine?
300
This tissue type is made of two cells - neurons and neuroglia.
What is nervous tissue?
400
I'm an organ which can secrete insulin, and I lead a double life: I can be found in both the endocrine AND digestive systems.
What is the pancreas?
400
My phase starts when movement of the sister chromatin stops.
What is telophase?
400
I am a chamber to house osteocytes.
What is/are lacuna?
400
An arm-like bar. An example is found on your mandible.
What is a ramus?
400
I am found in all connective tissue.
I am made of ground substance and three fiber types which give me strength.
I am sometimes hard, or am sometimes more "mold-able".
What is the matrix?
500
Many major organs within the reproductive system also belong to this system?
What is the endocrine system?
500
My phase is often called "prophase" in reverse.
What is telophase?
500
My fibers pierce into the diaphysis of the bone like velcro, and I hold the periostium in place
What is/are Sharpey's fibers?
500
Rounded projections that articulate. An example is on your occipital bone, allowing you to nod "yes".
