Sickle cell is a disorder that affects the
molecules in the red blood cells, particularly the hemoglobin. The hemoglobin
is the molecule responsible for transporting oxygen throughout the body. When a
person has sickle cell anemia, the red blood cells are distorted crescent
shapes that do not travel in the bloodstream properly and efficiently. As a
result, this disorder hampers the distribution of oxygen throughout the body.

Anemia is the major characteristic of sickle cell
disorder. A person with sickle cell anemia has low number of red blood cells
that usually begin in early childhood. A person who is experiencing Sickle Cell
Anemia will have multiple and repeated infections, and periodic episodes of
pain. The severity of this condition varies from person to person but is common
in African descents. </span>
Answer:
1. Transverse foramina present: Cervical
2. No canals or foramen present. It articulates superiorly with the sacrum: Coccyx
3. Receive the most stress: Lumbar
4. Attach to ribs: Thoracic
5. Articulates with hip bones of the pelvis: Sacrum
Explanation:
The vertebral column is a <u>series of 33 bones called vertebrae</u> that play a key role in organ protection, movement of body, and overall support. The column has been divided into <u>5 different regions</u> with the number of bones.
<u><em>1. Cervical Vertebrate</em></u><u>:</u> These are the group of <u>seven vertebrae of the neck</u>, start immediately below the skull. Two cervical bones C1 and C2 are unique in function. They are responsible for the movement of the head. They have <u>transverse foramina</u> which <u>gives passage to vertebral artery and vein</u>.
<em><u>2. Thoracic Vertebrae:</u></em> They are a group of twelve small bones that form the vertebral spine in the upper trunk. The function of the thoracic vertebrae is to articulate with ribs to produce the bony thorax.
<em><u>3. Lumbar Vertebrae: </u></em>This is the largest segment of the vertebral column that consists of 5 bones between the rib cage and pelvis. They <u>carry all of the upper body weight</u> providing flexibility and movement to the trunk region. This is why it can <u>receive the most stress easily</u>.
<em><u>4. Sacrum Vertebrae: </u></em>There are 5 sacral vertebral fused bones. It <u>connects to the hip bones and play role in forming a strong pelvis</u>.
<em><u>5. coccyx Vertebrae:</u></em> These are a group of 4 fused bone. There is <u>no vertebral canal due to a lack of vertebral arches</u>. They <u>provide </u>an <u>attachment site for muscles</u> ligament and tendons. They also <u>play a role in stabilization and support</u> while sitting.
A) is incorrect because this happens in metaphase.
B) is incorrect because telophase II is meant to create FOUR cells.
C) is correct. While the wording of the "daughter cells" from B and the "nuclei" may throw you off, the nuclear envelope forms around the nuclei before they actually split to form separate cells for cytokinesis.
