"Cheek cells make up your cheeks. Without them, humans would be cheek-less.
That's a very "tongue-in-cheek" response (hold for applause). Your cheek cells belong to a very specific group of cells that form every component of your body. These cells are usually called the, "Mucous Membrane". Note that "mucous" (secretory and non-keratinized) does not equal "mucus" (snot). Compare the inside of your cheek (with your tongue) and the outside of your cheek (with your finger; or your tongue, if you're able!). The inside is velvety, soft, smooth and moist. The outside is dry, firm and maybe pimply (depending on your age!). There really is only one difference between these surfaces: the inside surface is missing the gene that tells it to dry-out and harden.
The technical name for the cells on your cheek (both inside and outside) is "Stratified (stacked) Squamous (flat) Epithelium (external covering cells)". There's an extra term added by the biologists to further differentiate between the two: The inside of your mouth is "non-keratinized" and the outside (your external cheek) is "Keratinized".
It's important that the inside of your mouth is non-keratinized, because within that "skin" (more properly, tissue, since "Skin" generally refers to the keratinized type) exists various glands that secrete, among other things, saliva. Saliva not only lubricates your mouth and makes it possible to swallow dry food, it also contains enzymes that begin the digestion process.
Other tissues in your body that are similar (although not identical...not entirely anyway) to your inner cheek are: Pharynx (upper throat), larynx (voice-box), esophagus (swallowing throat), trachea (breathing throat) and your gastointestinal system (your gut). There are some very specific modifications that occur within those previously mentioned organs, but the fact is: your body loves water, and it will only put these delicate, useful and moist membranes where it can protect them from drying out in the atmosphere! (Ever wondered what your lips were for?)
Cheek cells also play a role in determining the sex and chromosomal abnormality. Using cheek cells we can demonstrate Barr bodies which are inactivated or heterochromatinized or dose compensated X chromosome. Number of Barr bodies correlate with clinical conditions. Normally females have 1 barr body and males do not have any barr body. In case of Turners syndrome in females with chromosome complement 45, xo has "zero" barr body and in Klinefelters syndrome (47, xxy) seen in males has 1 barr body. In superfemales, supermales and polyploid conditions the number of bar rbodies increases.
The cheeks cell in the human body is to do everything shown on the out side of the cheek.For example if you are sticking in your cheek or jaw in, the cell in the cheek is working and doing the movements inside the cheek(jaw)
The Saliva keep the cheek cells saturated.

Hello
Cells found in Stratum Granulosum of Epidermis of skin, and these cells are basophil and suspected to play role in keratinization.
Neurotransmitters are chemicals released from nerve cells that play an important role in nerve cell communication.
Vitamin D
Saliva keep your mouth from drying out, it also contains enzymes, mainly Carbohyrase enzymes, these enzymes as you can probably guess helps digest the carbohydrates. I have aslo heard that saliva allows you to taste foods as well as your taste buds.
Enzymes act as catalysts of chemical reactions
Proteins play a major part in protecting our cells and our body.
white blood cells
Saliva is an extracellular fluid produced and secreted by salivary glands in the mouth. In humans, saliva is around 99% water, plus electrolytes, mucus, white blood cells, epithelial cells, enzymes, antimicrobial agents. The enzymes found in saliva are essential in beginning the process of digestion of dietary starches and fats. These enzymes also play a role in breaking down food particles entrapped within dental crevices, thus protecting teeth from bacterial decay. Saliva also performs a lubricating function, wetting food and permitting the initiation of swallowing, and protecting the oral mucosa from drying out. Various animal species have special uses for saliva that go beyond predigestion. Some swifts use their gummy saliva to build nests. Aerodramus nests form the basis of bird's nest soup. Cobras, vipers, and certain other members of the venom clade hunt with venomous saliva injected by fangs.
Paneth cells are one of the four principal cells that represent the epithelium of the small intestines. Paneth cells are attached to stem cells and may play an important role in protecting them.
Both play a role in protecting cells from oxidative damage.
Saliva starts the digestion process.
That's some BS look for the answer lol may god bless you
helper T cells
Harry Cheek debuted on April 30, 1910 and played his final game on May 12, 1910.
No they do not
What you must have heard was tongue in cheek and it means farcical. A play done tongue in cheek makes fun of itself. It is a parody. Basically: joking. Tongue in cheek refers to the facial gesture of using the tongue to make the cheek stick out on one side, which is a sign of skepticism or disbelief. Something said "tongue in cheek" is not to be taken seriously.
The roles do play an important role in protecting people's rights by delivering justice. The courts are usually expected to act in an non partisan manner and deliver justice.
