-
Cells that connect body parts
Fibroblast and Erythrocyte (red blood cells)
-
Fibroblast
- Elongated cells that lie along the cable-like fibers that it secretes; has large Golgi apparatus to make and secrete the protein building block of these fibers; to connect body parts
-
Erythocyte
- red blood cell that carries oxygen in the bloodstream; only contains oxygen-carrying pigment; connects body parts by circulating through the blood stream
-
Cell that covers and lines body organs
- Epithelial cell
-
Epithelial cell
- Hexagonal shaped cell like that of a "honeycomb"; which allows cells to pack closely together in sheets; resist tearing when it is rubbed or pulled; covers and lines body organs
-
Cells that move organs and body parts
Skeletal muscle and smooth muscle cells
-
Skeletal muscle and smooth muscle cells
- Elongated cells filled with abundant contractile filaments so they can shorten forcefully and move the bones, body parts, or change the size of internal organs
-
Cell that stores nutrients
Fat cell
-
Fat Cell
- Huge spherical shaped cell produced by large lipid droplet in its cytoplasm; stores nutrients
-
Cell that fights disease
Macrophage (a phagocytic cell)
-
Macrophage
- a phagocytic cell that extends pseudopods to crawl through tissue to reach infections; contains many lysosomes in order to fight infections and disease
-
Cell that gathers information and controls body functions
Nerve cell (neuron)
-
Nerve cell
Has long processes (extensions) for receiving and transmitting to other body structures information it gathers to control body functions
-
Cells of reproduction
Oocyte (female); Sperm (male)
-
Oocyte
Largest cell in the female body; contains several copies of all organelles for distribution to future daughter cells
-
Sperm
Long and streamlined cell that has flagellum to swim to the Oocyte in the female
