Study Notes
Muscle Cells
- Have a long and thin structure, allowing them to change size drastically when they contract
- May have a branching pattern, which increases muscle strength
- Contain a high concentration of mitochondria, providing the energy needed to change shape
Nerve Cells (Neurons)
- Have long, threadlike branches, enabling them to receive and transmit signals from other cells throughout the body
Red Blood Cells
- Have a doughnut-like shape with a depression in the center, providing a large surface area for carrying oxygen
