• The function of mitosis is growth and repair
• Metaphase is when the chromosomes line up in the centre of the cell
• Telophase is when two new nuclei form

• The menitem is involved in plant cell division
• The brain and spinal cord make up the central nervous system
• The Cerebrum controls thought and memory
• The medulla oblongata is attached to the spinal cord
• The hypothalamus is responsible for body temperature and water content
• PET scans show structure and function using tracers like glucose to measure brain activity
