Metastasis
Cancer cells that break free and travel to other parts of the body through the bloodstream or lymphatic system are called metastatic cancer cells.
Sex Cells (called Gametes) are made by a process called Meiosis.
Blood cells travel to and from the pump called the heart by way of the blood vessels called the arteries and veins.
Sex Cells (called Gametes) are made by a process called Meiosis.
This process is called mitosis.
Red blood cells travel in a liquid called plasma found in the blood vessels.
Cells usually divide through a process called mitosis, where the cell duplicates its DNA and then splits into two identical daughter cells. Another type of cell division called meiosis occurs in sex cells, which results in four daughter cells with half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell.
The process whereby receptor cells in the skin transform one form of energy into electrical signals that can be interpreted by the brain is called transduction. This process allows the brain to interpret information about touch, temperature, and pain.
Simple molecules are further broken down in cells in a process called catabolism.
The process is called the cell cycle. The process in which the cell duplicates itself is called mitosis. The two cells formed after the cell cycle is complete are called daughter cells. Those daughter cells then go on to undergo the same process and make two new cells of their own. I just finished a science section on all of this.
Gametogenesis is the cell process used to make gametes (sperm and egg cells). In males, this process is called spermatogenesis, where spermatogonia mature into sperm cells. In females, it is called oogenesis, where oogonia mature into egg cells.
