## Cell Specialization Cell specialization, also known as cell differentiation, is the process by which generic cells become specialized for a particular function. ### Cell Specialization In Animals | Name | Function | Adaptation | |-------------------|------------------------------------|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Red Blood Cells | Carry O2 throughout the body | No Nucleus, biconcave shape, contains hemoglobin | | White Blood Cells | Plays important role in immune system | Irregular shape, can produce antibodies and antitoxins | | Sperm Cell | Fertilize an egg cell to make a baby| Long tail, numerous mitochondria, with chemicals on head for egg cell entry | | Egg Cell | Carries genetic material | Large and bulky, a chemical change in the membrane prevents fertilization of more than one sperm. | | Nerve Cell or Neuron | Carry nerve impulses through the body | Long, thin axon, branching dendrites, myelinated | | Muscle Cell | Facilitate movement | Elongated and elastic, numerous mitochondria |
