A crest is a prominent ridge of a bone, a line is a low ridge. For example, search for images of the iliac crest and you will see the crest is the very top portion of the pelvic bone, the line is the lower portion of the medial part of the pelvic bone.

What is the difference between Hilton white line and the pectinate line?

Hilton's white line is slightly below the pectinate line. The transition of epithelium at Hilton's white is from non-keratinising squamous to keratining squamous while at the pectinate line it is coloumnar to non-keratinising stratified squamous. Also Hilton's seperates the venous drainage from potal to systemic while pectinate line seperates arterial supply from inf. mesenteric to internal pudendal. Second year med student


What is the difference between metaphase in mitosis and metaphase I in meiosis?

In metaphase of mitosis, chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell, while in metaphase I of meiosis, homologous chromosomes line up in pairs.


What the difference between prophase one and prophase two?

In prophase I of meiosis, homologous chromosomes pair up and exchange genetic material in a process called crossing over. This creates genetic diversity. In prophase II of meiosis, the duplicated chromosomes from prophase I line up in the center of the cell and prepare to separate into individual chromosomes.


What is the difference between gross anatomy and microscopic anatomy?

gross anatomy is the study of the organs,parts and structures of a body visible to the naked eye while systemic anatomy is the study of a group of related structures within a particular system and the relative positions each occupies inside an animal's body


What is the difference between metaphase of mitosis and metaphase of meiosis i in terms of their respective processes?

In metaphase of mitosis, the chromosomes line up in a single row at the center of the cell, while in metaphase I of meiosis, the chromosomes line up in pairs at the center of the cell. This difference is due to the fact that mitosis involves the division of a somatic cell into two identical daughter cells, while meiosis I involves the division of a germ cell into two haploid daughter cells with genetic variation.

What is the distance between a line through the middle of a wave and a crest or trough called?

The distance between a line through the middle of a wave and a crest or trough is called the amplitude. It represents half the distance between a crest and a trough, or the maximum displacement of a wave from its equilibrium position.


Is amplitude measured from crest to crest?

Nope, Amplitude is the distance between the center line of a wave and the highest or lowest point.

Is the wave length measured from the crest to the trough?

Usually it is shown in diagrams as from where the variable passes across the zero line, but your way will give the same result. It is the length of one complete cycle that matters.


What is the difference between a straight line and a line?

A straight line is the shortest distance between two points, a line is the delineation of a connection between two or more points.
