 WHAT IS CELLS

Cells - are the basic building blocks of all living things. The human body is composed of trillions
of cells. ... Cells have many parts, each with a different function. Some of these parts, called
organelles, are specialized structures that perform certain tasks within the cell.

Stem cells - are cells with the potential to develop into many different types of cells in the
body. They serve as a repair system for the body. There are two main types of stem cells:
embryonic stem cells and adult stem cells.
Bone Cells -  is a mineralized connective tissue that exhibits four types of cells:
osteoblasts, bone lining cells, osteocytes, and osteoclasts Bone exerts important functions in
the body, such as locomotion, support and protection of soft tissues, calcium and phosphate
storage, and harboring of bone marrow 

Muscle cells - commonly known as myocytes, are the cells that make up muscle tissue.
There are 3 types of muscle cells in the human body; cardiac, skeletal, and smooth.
Skeletal muscle cells are long, cylindrical, multi-nucleated and striated.
Sperm Cells - is the male reproductive cell, or gamete, in anisogamous forms of sexual
reproduction. Animals produce motile sperm with a tail known as a flagellum, which are known as
spermatozoa, while some red algae and fungi produce non-motile sperm cells, known as spermatia.

FEMALE CELLS or the OVARIES produce the egg cells - called the ova or oocytes. The
oocytes are then transported to the fallopian tube where fertilization by a sperm may occur. The
fertilized egg then moves to the uterus, where the uterine lining has thickened in response to
the normal hormones of the reproductive cycle.
Adipocytes, also known as lipocytes and fat cells - are the cells that primarily
compose adipose tissue, specialized in storing energy as fat. Adipocytes are derived from
mesenchymal stem cells which give rise to adipocytes through adipogenesis.

Neurons, also known as nerve cells – It is function through send and receive signals from your
brain. While neurons have a lot in common with other types of cells, they're structurally and
functionally unique. Specialized projections called axons allow neurons to transmit electrical and
chemical signals to other cells.
