Centromeres split, kinetecore pulls chromosomes to separate sides.
Term
Anaphase
Definition
Centromeres split, kinetecore pulls chromosomes to separate sides.
Term
Telophase
Definition
Chromosome begin to uncoil, new nuclear envelope forms
Term
Cytokinesis
Definition
Contracting ring of actin forms cleavage furrow and pinches cells apart
Term
Which cells constantly undergo mitosis?
Definition
Somatic cells (body cells)
Term
Ciliated Cells
Definition
Function is to aid in movement.
Goblet cells are present as well.
Location: tissue in air passageways
Term
Red Blood Cells
Definition
Also known as a erythrocyte.
Function: transportation of nutrients, waste, and other substances
Makes up most of the area, small, "hole" in center. Surrounded by plasma
Term
White Blood Cells
Definition
Also known as a leukocyte. Large, but less numerous. Function: prevent blood clotting. Has a visible nucleus.
Term
Epithelial Tissue
Definition
Forms boundaries between different environments, protects, secretes, absorbs, filters. Located: lining of digestive tract, organs, other hollow organs, skin surface (epidermis)
Term
