fourthyearmed Senior Member 5+ Year Member. Yes, 3rd year is long, hard, a lot of work, and has tests but I still enjoyed it so much more than the HELL that was 1st and 2nd years. 3rd year involves interaction not just with patients but with other people in the medical field besides your classmates.
The mitotic spindle is the macromolecular machine that segregates chromosomes to two daughter cells during mitosis. The major structural elements of the spindle are microtubule polymers, whose intrinsic polarity and dynamic properties are critical for bipolar spindle organization and function.he mitotic spindle is the macromolecular machine that segregates chromosomes to two daughter cells during mitosis.

spindle fibers A collection of microtubules attached to a centromere during mitosis and meiosis that are responsible for the movement of the chromosomes to opposite poles. Spindle fibers align the chromosomes along the middle of the cell nucleus. The protein fibers formed during prophase of nuclear division; chromosomes attach to these fibers at the centromere. spindle The aggregation of microtubules that is involved in the movement and separation of chromosomes during mitosis and meiosis.
