There are over 200 types of specialized cells in the body. They come in different shapes and sizes depending on their functions and the rate at which cell division takes place also varies. Some examples

Epithelial cells...form skin, cover most organs and line hollow cavities such as the intestinal tract. These continually replace themselves as they are subjected to physical abrasion and wear.

Smooth Muscle cells ...large elongated spindle like cells of smooth muscle contract by sliding strands of protein inside

Nerve cells ...have short branches called dendrites to receive nerve signals and long wire like axons to send them. These due to their complex structure renew very slowly or not at all.

Photoreceptor cells....a cone cell is a light and colour sensitive cell in the eyes retina.

Red Blood cell ...double dished erythrocyte is a bag of oxygen carrying molecules.

Adipose or Fat cell....adipocytes are bulky, crammed full of droplets of fat which store energy.

Sperm cell....has a head that carries paternal genetic material and a tail for propulsion.

Ovum or Egg cell ... these giant cells contain the maternal genetic material, and energy resources for the embryo's first cell division.

Stem cells... unspecified beginner cells that can develop into specialized cells.
