Cell Diversity Flashcards
Cell that absent of nucleus
Prokaryotes
Cell that enclosed their chromosomes with nucleus
Eukaryotes
Composed of closely packed polyhedral cells with a very thin intercellular space and substances
Epithelial Cell
Located at epidermis of skin, function for protection
Squamous Cell
Cells with equal height and width, function for lining
Cuboidal Cell
Cells with greater height than width, function for absorption of water and nutrients
Columnar Cell
Responsible for providing and maintaining form in the body
Connective Cell
Responsible for giving support or framework in the body
Bone Cell/Osteocytes
Responsible to support the bones and the body like in nose or ears
Cartillage Cell/Chondrocytes
Transport nutrients,oxygen,waste and water
RBC/Erythrocytes
Defense and protection for infection
WBC/Leukocytes
Controlled blood clotting
Platelets/Thrombocytes
Responsible for contraction or body movements
Muscular Cells
Attached to the bone,voluntary and striated muscle
Skeletal Cell
Found in internal organs like the digestive tract
