Metabolism is the chemicalprocess that converts nutrients into energy and new tissue (growth and repair)

Centrosomes are rod-shaped bodies in the cytoplasm and are essential for reproduction.

Prophase(first stage)During this stage, the nuclear membrane disappears. Centrioles, which arelocated within the centrosome, become active and form spindles.

Metaphase(second stage)During this stage, the chromosomes duplicate themselves and line up inpairs in the center of the cell.

Anaphase(third stage)During this stage, the two groups of chromosomes separate.

Telophase(fourth stage)During this final stage, a nuclear membrane develops around the new cellsand finally the daughter cells separate.

Interphase No division processes occur during this stage. It is a resting period formitosis but is the major period of a cell’s existence.

Cardiac; Cardiac muscle tissue isalso considered involuntary and found only in the heart.

Skeletal; This type of muscle tissue comprises the muscles attached to, and enables the movement of, thedifferent parts of the skeleton. Skeletal muscle tissue is also called striated muscle
