One cell is more specialized than another based on its unique structure and function tailored to perform specific tasks within an organism. For example, a neuron is specialized for transmitting electrical signals, featuring long axons and dendrites to facilitate communication. In contrast, a red blood cell is specialized for oxygen transport, possessing a flexible shape and a high surface area due to its biconcave structure. This specialization arises from gene expression patterns that dictate the cell's characteristics and roles in the body.

Why are nerve cells described as being specialised?
The only one of the 220 different types of Human Cells that is not specialized is the Stem Cell.
How are stem cells trnsplanted?
Stem cells are cells that have not specialised. Specialist cells can only be the one thing that they are specialised for; ie, you cannot turn skin cells into a heart, or liver cells into a brain. Stem cells have not specialised and can therefore become any type of cell. I am not sure how they are stimulated to become one kind or another, but they can. Adult stem cells are not as good as embryonic stem cells, but because harvesting embryonic stem cells requires the destruction of a human embryo it is banned in many countries.
What is the membrane called that separates one cell from another?

Do animals have more than one eukaryotic cell?
A cell is one unit per definition. An organism consisting of one cell only (unicellular) is generally a prokaryote, e.g. a bacterium. All others are eukaryotes (with full cell nucleus), and multicellular, e.g. plantae and animalia, but also some unicellular organisms like amoebae. Generally the metabolism in an animal depends on collaboration between different specialised cells.
