|---|---|
| Ionic Bond | Chemical bond formed by transfer of electrons between atoms. |
| Covalent bond | Chemical bond formed by sharing electrons between atoms. |
| Hydrogen bond | Weak attraction between a hydrogen atom and an electronegative atom (Like oxygen or nitrogen). |
| Proteins (In cell membrane) | Embedded molecules that assist transport, signaling, and structural support. |
| Cholesterol (In cell membrane) | Lipid that stabilizes membrane fluidity. |
| Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) | Membrane network; rough ER has ribosomes for protein synthesis, smooth ER synthesizes lipids. |
| Ribosomes | Sites of protein synthesis; free in cytoplasm or attached to rough ER. |
| Prophase | Chromatin condenses into chromosomes; nuclear envelope breaks down; spindle fibers form. |
| Metaphase | Chromosomes align at the cell's equatorial plate. |
| Anaphase | Sister chromatids separate toward opposite poles. |
| Telophase | Chromosomes decondense; nuclear envelope reforms; cell prepares to divide. |
| Telophase | Chromosomes decondense; nuclear envelope reforms; cell prepares to divide. |
| Blood | Connective tissue with plasma, red and white blood cells, and platelets; transports substances. |
| Bone | Dense connective tissue that supports and protects organs; stores minerals |
| Skeletal muscle | Started, voluntary muscle for movement. |
| Neuron | Nerve cell that transmits electrical signals |
| Alveoli (Simple squamous epithelial) | Thin sacs in lungs for gas ex hange. |
| Epidermis | Outermost layer of skin; provides protection. |
| Dermis | Middle skin layer; contains blood vessels, nerves, and glands. |
| Subcutaneous layer (hypodermis) | Deepest layer; stores fat and cushions organs. |
| Hair follicle | Structure in dermis where hair grows |
| Sweat glands | Produce sweat for temperature regulation and excretion. |
| Frontal bone | Forehead bone. |
| Parietal bone | Sides and roof of skull. |
| Coronal (frontal) structure | Connects frontal and parietal bones. |
| Temporal bone | Side and base of skull; contains ear structures. |
| Occipital bone | Back of skull; contains foramen magnum. |
| Foramen magnum | Large opening in occipital bone for spinal cord passage. |
| Sphenoid bone | Bone at base of skull; "keystone" bone. |
| Mandible | Lower jawbone. |
| Maxilla | Upper jawbone. |
| Lumbar | Lower back region |
| Brachial | Arm region |
| Occipital | Back of the head |
| Cervical | Neck region |
| Otic | Ear region |
| Peritoneal membrane | Membrane lining the abdominal cavity and covering abdominal organs. |
