Ribosomes
Tiny spherical bodies composed of RNA and protein, floating free or attached to the rough ER.
Site of Protein Synthesis
Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER)
Rough ER - provides an area for storage and transport
Smooth ER - no function in protein sythesis.
(Membranous Tubules)

Sesamoid bone
are bones that form within tendons.
Prophase
The first and longest phase of mitosis. Chromosomes become more coiled and can be viewed under a light microscope. Each duplicated chromosome is seen as a pair of sister chromatids joined by the duplicated but un-separated centromere. The nucleolus disappears. In the cytoplasm, the mitotic spindle, consisting of microtubules and other proteins, forms between the two pairs of centrioles as they migrate to opposite poles of the cell. The nuclear envelope disappears at the end of prophase. This signals the beginning of the substage called prometaphase. DNA becomes visible strands.
Metaphase
Spindle fibers align the chromosomes along the middle of the cell nucleus. This line is referred to as the metaphase plate. This organization helps to ensure that in the next phase, when the chromosomes are separated, each new nucleus will receive one copy of each chromosome
Anaphase
Third state of mitosis, begins when the sister chromatids break and each chromatid (now called a chromosome) moves toward an opposite end of the cell. Bye the end of anaphase, the chromosomes are at opposite ends of the cell.
Telophase
Spindle fibers break apart, two new nuclear membranes begin to form, and the chromosomes disperse into chromatin.
Cytokinesis
is the division of the cytoplasm, photosynthesis is the process by which a cell produces its own food
Endocytosis
is how a cell ungulfs large food particles.

Axis (C2)

Compression Fracture
Bone is crushed
Depressed Fracture
