    • Is the basic unit of life.
      A cell
    • mature osteoblasts
      osteocytes
    • They're mineralized connective tissue made by bone-forming cells called osteoblasts which deposit collagen.

      Bone Cell (osteocyte)
    • It changes into an osteocyte over time
      Osteoblast
    • The cells which responsible for the breakdown of bone tissue, which release calcium, are known as
      Osteoclasts
    • The cells that secrete collagen and chondroitin sulfate
      Chondrocytes
    • These cells are similar to bone cells, but the surrounding material is just loose and flexible compared to those of bone cell.
      Cartilage cells
    • These neurons sense stimuli and transmit electric signals throughout the body.
      Nerve cells
    • it connects to the other to send help.
      neurons
    • It is the part where the impulse is transmitted to others neurons.
      Axon
    • These cells are very simple cells which form covering of other cells
      Epithelial cells
    • for secretion
      cuboidal
    • brick-shaped cells; for secretions and active absorption
      columnar
    • plate-like cells; for exchange of material through diffusion
      squamous
    • They are present in muscle tissue.
      Muscle cells
    • These cell as name indicates are secretory in nature.

      Secretory cell
    • These are fat cells and storage in nature to store fat. They reduce friction to the body.
      Adipose cells
    • Type of adipose cell which form the most common deposits in adult human beings.
      White adipose cells
    • Type of adipose cell that are the most common for newborns.
      Brown adipose tissue
    • These include RBC, WBC, and Thrombocytes etc. They have limited life span and they never multiply to form a new cell, instead the new cells are formed from each other.
      Blood Cells
    • Nerve cells, muscle cells some under this category. They have internal ability to conduct an electric impulse from region to other distant region in the body
      Conductive cells
    • Bone cells, blood cells come under this category. They help connect each other cells and tissues
      Connective cells
    • These cells secretory cells. They form glands like pancreas, salivary glands and help in the production of enzymes and hormones.
      Glandular cells.
    • Adipose cells and some liver cells act to store materials like fat for later use. This fat is consumed in times of starvation and also in extreme cold temperatures.
      Storage cells
    • These are the cells which are present as support to adjacent cells. Ex: Glial cells in the brain and spinal cord help provide nourishment to the nerve cells and protect them from shocks and trauma.
      Supportive cells
    • Hemoglobin-containing, disc-shaped that transports oxygen
      Enucleated RBC
    • Hair-like structure made of proteins that enable bacteria to adhere to tissue surfaces.
      Pili
    • Cell membrane extensions of an epithelial cell that increase the surface area of cells.
      Microvilli
    • Thin neuron branch that receives neural messages from other neurons and conduct the impulses to the cell body.
      Dendrites
    • Whip-like structure that aid for the propulsion of single cells (facilitates sperm motility).

      Flagella
    • Help in the survival of the organisms during adverse environmental conditions (heat, high pressure, and stress).
      Spores
    • Filaments of protein that permit the muscle to contract and elongate for organism activity.
      Actin and myosin
    • A neuron extension that transmits messages away from the cell body and toward another cell.
      Axons
    • Tiny hair-like structures that increase the area available for water absorption and that of minerals and other nutrients.

      Root hairs
    • Hair-like projections that can also move an egg cell through the female reproductive tract.
      Cilia
