- If the surface area of a cell membrane is modeled as a sphere with a radius of 5 micrometers, what is its approximate surface area (using π ≈ 3.14)?
- If an anatomical structure is described as 'proximal' to another, what mathematical concept best describes their relative position?
- Epithelial tissue cells are arranged in layers. If a tissue has 5 layers of cells, and each cell layer is, on average, 20 micrometers thick, what is the total thickness of the tissue?
