What are specialized cells list three?

Neurons: Specialized cells that transmit electrical impulses in the nervous system. Red blood cells: Specialized cells that carry oxygen throughout the body. Muscle cells: Specialized cells that contract and generate force for movement.


What specialised cells are there?

Some examples of specialized cells in the body include red blood cells, which transport oxygen in the blood, neurons, which transmit electrical signals in the nervous system, and muscle cells, which contract to produce movement. Each type of specialized cell is uniquely adapted to its specific function in the body.


True or false older red blood cells may be destroyed in the spleen?

True. There are blood capillaries within the red pulp of the spleen. Older, more fragile red blood cells may rupture as they pass through these capillaries and the resulting cellular debris is removed.


What are the 4 specialized cells?

The four specialized cells are nerve cells (neurons), muscle cells (myocytes), blood cells (erythrocytes, leukocytes, and platelets), and epithelial cells (skin cells, lining of organs). Each type of specialized cell has unique structures and functions that enable them to perform specific roles in the body.


Which cells transport oxygen from the lungs to the body tissues?

Red blood cells because they are your main source of blood. White blood cells help protect your body from harmful diseases and the flu. Your white blood cells even fight an infection in your body when you have a fever!

No. Most can except some specialized ones such as brain cells, red blood cells and gametes.


What is the role of red cells?

Red blood cells are highly specialized for oxygen transport. They lack a nucleus and instead, contain many copies of hemoglobin. Red Blood cells move single file through the capillaries

Are red blood cells an organism?

No, red blood cells are not considered organisms because they lack organelles, a nucleus, and the ability to reproduce on their own. They are specialized cells responsible for carrying oxygen throughout the body.

Where does most of the cleanup of dead red blood cells take place?

Most of the cleanup of dead red blood cells takes place in the spleen. The spleen contains specialized cells called macrophages that engulf and break down the old red blood cells, recycling their components for future use in the body.
