Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, and Telophase

List the four major types of tissue in the body

Epithelial, connective, muscle and nervous tissue

Interpret the five homeostatic functions of bones.

support and protection of the body's framework and organs, movement by acting as levers for muscles, hematopoiesis in the bone marrow, and mineral storage

Understand the clinical significance of the cribriform plate of the ethmoid bone

The role of olfactory nerve transmission and its fragility, which makes it vulnerable to injury during head trauma

List the types of fibrous joints and cartilaginous joints

Fibrous joints include sutures, syndesmoses, and gomphoses Cartilaginous joints include synchondroses and symphyses

Discuss the three characteristics of skeletal muscle cells that allow them to function as they do

excitability: the ability to respond to a stimulus contractility: the ability to shorten and generate force extensibility/elasticity: the ability to be stretched and return to its original length
