The document provides a comprehensive overview of the cell cycle and its regulation, detailing the phases of the cycle, including interphase (G1, S, G2) and mitosis (prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase). It elaborates on the regulatory mechanisms through positive and negative regulation involving key molecules such as cyclins and CDKs, as well as checkpoints that control the progression of the cycle. Additionally, it references significant literature in the field of anatomy and physiology.
