Study Notes
Animal Cells Overview
- Nerve cells are highly sensitive and rapidly transmit signals, playing a critical role in communication within the nervous system.
- Intestinal cells possess hair-like structures called microvilli, which increase surface area for nutrient absorption.
- Red blood cells are specialized for oxygen transport; they lack a nucleus, allowing more space for hemoglobin.
- The ovum is essential for reproduction and has a large cytoplasm, providing nutrients to the developing embryo.
Immune and Repair Cells
- White blood cells are key components of the immune system, tasked with identifying and destroying bacteria and pathogens.
- Bone cells aid in the healing and regeneration of bone tissue, crucial for maintaining skeletal integrity.
Photosynthetic and Reproductive Cells
- Palisade cells are specialized for light absorption and photosynthesis, containing numerous chloroplasts for maximum light capture.
- Sperm cells are equipped with a tail (flagellum), enabling motility and the ability to reach the ovum for fertilization.
Specialized Transport Cells
- Ciliated cells have hair-like projections (cilia) that aid in moving mucus and other substances, important for respiratory function.
- Root hair cells are designed for water absorption, with a tiny, sponge-like structure and lack of chloroplasts, optimizing their function in plants.
- Xylem vessels are responsible for transporting water throughout the plant, vital for hydration and nutrient distribution.
