  • What is the main event during metaphase of mitosis?

    Chromosomes align at the cell's equatorial plate, attached to spindle fibers from opposite poles.

  • What happens during anaphase of mitosis?

    Sister chromatids separate and move toward opposite poles of the cell.

  • Describe telophase in mitosis.

    Chromosomes decondense, nuclear envelopes reform, and the cell prepares to divide.

  • What is cytokinesis?

    The physical division of the cytoplasm into two daughter cells following mitosis.

  • What type of tissue is shown by a single layer of columnar cells with nuclei near the base?

    Simple columnar epithelium, often involved in absorption and secretion.

  • What is the characteristic structure of compact bone tissue?

    Osteons with central Haversian canals surrounded by concentric lamellae.

  • What type of tissue is characterized by densely packed collagen fibers and fibroblasts?

    Dense connective tissue, providing strong attachment and support.

  • What is the function of red blood cells seen in blood smear images?

    Transport oxygen from lungs to tissues and carbon dioxide back to lungs.

  • What is the main function of epithelial tissue?

    Protection, absorption, secretion, and sensation at body surfaces and cavities.

  • What are the three main layers of the skin?

    Epidermis, dermis, and hypodermis (subcutaneous layer).

  • Name the major bones of the human skull visible in the colored skull image.

    Frontal, parietal, temporal, occipital, sphenoid, ethmoid, maxilla, and mandible bones.

  • What is the function of the mandible?

  • What distinguishes a lumbar vertebra from thoracic and cervical vertebrae?

    Larger body, short thick spinous process, and absence of costal facets.

  • What is the function of the ribs in the thoracic cage?

    Protect thoracic organs and assist in respiration by expanding and contracting the chest cavity.

  • What bones form the pelvic girdle?

    The ilium, ischium, and pubis bones fused together.
