What are the types of epithelial Cells?
Simple squamous-single layer of thin, flat, many-sided cells each with a central nucleus. It lines internal cavities, the heart and all the blood vessels. Also lines parts of the urinary, respiratory, and male reproductive tracts.Stratified squamous-consists of many layers of cells. Innermost layer produces cells that are first cuboidal or columnar in shape, but as cells push toward the surface, they become flattened and begin to accumulate a protein called keratin and eventually die. Keratin makes the outer layer of epidermis tough, protective, and able to repel water. The linings of the mouth, throat, anal canal, and vagina are examples of stratified epithelium. The outermost layer of cells surrounding the cavity remains soft, moist, and alive.Simple cuboidal-single layer of cube-shaped cells, each with a central nucleus. Found in tubules of the kidney and in the ducts of many glands, where it has a protective function. It also occurs in the secretory portions of some glands, where the tissue produces and releases secretions.Simple columnar-single layer of tall, cylindrical cells, each with a nucleus near the base. This tissue, which lines the digestive tract from the stomach to the anus, protects, secretes, and allows absorption of nutrients.Pseudostratified ciliated columnar-appears to be layered, though actually all cells touch the basement membrane. Many cilia are located on the free end of each cell. In the human trachea, the cilia wave back and forth, moving mucus and debris up toward the throat so that it cannot enter the lungs. Smoking destroys these cilia, but they will grow back if smoking is discontinued.
Which organ system produces specialized cells to continue the human species?
Reproductive
What happens to the cell when they undergo differentiation?
as cells differentiate, they become different form one another. They also form groups made of other, similarly specialized cells. These groups then form tissue and organs.
Which glands produce insulin?
In humans only the pancreas produces insulin. There are clusters of specialized cells in the pancreas called Islets of Langerhans. The cell type in the Islets that produce insulin are beta cells. (Other cell types in the Islets produce other hormones.)
What organ is the thymus gland in?
It produces lymphocytes and assists in producing immunity.
What type of epithelium functions in the movement of mucus?
There are tiny little hairs within various body systems such as the respiratory system, and other systems. These little hairs are called cilia. They are responsible for clearing out debris and other foreign invaders. The cilia is what produces the actions such as coughing, or sneezing etc.

Which tissue type produces glandular secretions?
Glandular epithelium produces hormones.
Where in the body is simple cubical epithelium?
A simple cuboidal epithelium absorbs and secretes. It produces mucous. It is found in the liver, thyroid, mammary, and salivary glands.
The process of differentiation produces what?
specialized cells
What are the specialized structures in the body that produces sex cell?
Gonads
Which organ system produces specialized cells to continue the human species?
Reproductive
What happens when a parent produces reproductive cells?
When a parent produces reproductive cells, sex cells undergo meiosis a process in which these specialized cells duplicate.
How the tv produces 25000 voltage in picture tube?
It's basically a highly specialized transformer.
What is the male reproductive system specialized to produce?
The Human Male reproductive system produces Testosterone.
What Is the specialized form of cell division which produces cells with only one copy of each chromosome?
Meiosis
What is a type of asuxual reproduction where the parent produces many single specialized cells each of which can develop into a new individual?
sporulation
