Animal Cell Specialisation

• Sperm cells - Helps get male DNA to female DNA
• Specialisation of sperm cells

  Long tail and streamlined head - Helps it to swim to the egg
• Specialisation of sperm cells


  Has mitocondria - Provides energy for swimming
• Specialisation of sperm cells


  Contains enzymes in head - Allows them to digest through the outer layer of the ovum
• Nerve cells - Carries electrical impulses fromone part of the body to another
• Specialisation of nerve cells

  Myelin insulates the axon and speeds up the transmission of nerve impulses
• Specialisation of nerve cells

  Synapses - The end of the axon - Allows impulses to pass from one nerve cell to another
• Specialisation of nerve cells

  
  

  Dendrites - Increases surface area so other nerve cells can connect more easier
• Muscle Cells - Contract to allow movement
• Specialisation of muscle cells


  Cell are long - Gives space for them to contract
• Specialisation of muscle cells


  Contains mitochondria - Generates energy for contraction
