Cards

Term
Meiosis
Definition
It is a cell division to the reduction in the number of chromosomes to each daughter cell.At the end of the process the daughter cell will be half the chromosomes in the parent cell.
Term
Mitosis
Definition
Result of two daughter cells receiving equal distribution of cellular material.
Term
Prophase
Definition
Sets the stage for chromosomes to divide. Chromosomes begin to condense, mitotic spindles begin to form and the nucleolus disappears.
Term
Metaphase
Definition
Spindle captured the chromosomes so they are now lined up at the middle of the cell and ready to divide.
Term
Anaphase
Definition
Sister chromatids separate each other.
Term
Telophase
Definition
The cell is almost done dividing. While the normal internal structures start to re-establish.
Term
What are Radiosensitive cells?
Definition
skin cells, Lymphocytes, Erythrocytes, Intestinal crypt cells, and Reproductive cells.
Term
What are Radioinsensitive cells?
Definition
Brain cells, Muscle cells, and Nerve cells.
Term
What does ALARA stand for?
Definition
As Low As Reasonable Achievable
Term
What is the minimal filtration for an aluminum equivalent for general diagnostic x-ray tubes?
Definition
2.5mm
Term
What is the order for an electromagnetic spectrum?
Definition
Radio waves, Microwaves, Infrared radiation, Visible light, Ultraviolet, X-ray, and Gamma rays.
Term
Cells contain two types of nucleic acids that are important to human metabolism:
Definition
Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA)
Ribonucleic acid (RNA)
Term
The four nitrogenous organic bases in DNA macromolecules are as follows:
Definition
Adenine (A) Cytosine (C)Guanine (G)Thymine (T)
Term
What percentage of water contained in the human body.
Definition
80%-85%
Term
Erythrocytes
Definition
known as red blood cells because of their reddish color due to the presence of hemoglobin.
Term
leukocytes
Definition
White blood cells.
Term
Chromosomes
Definition
tiny, rod-shaped bodies that under a microscope appear to be long, threadlike structures that become visible only in dividing cells
Term
Cytoplasm
Definition
is the protoplasm that exists outside the cell's nucleus.
Term
Ribosomes
Definition
are very small, spherical organelles that attach to the endoplasmic reticulum.
Term
Cell division
Definition
is the multiplication process whereby one cell divides to form two or more cells
