A muscle cell is specialized to contract and relax in unison with other muscle cells in a muscle tissue when you want to move a certain muscle(controlled by your cerebrum). I hope this answers your question!

What are 10 specialized cells?

Neurons - specialized for transmitting electrical signals in the nervous system. Red blood cells - specialized for carrying oxygen in the bloodstream. Muscle cells - specialized for contraction and movement. Osteoblasts - specialized for bone formation. Pancreatic beta cells - specialized for producing insulin in the pancreas. Photoreceptor cells - specialized for detecting light in the eyes. Cardiomyocytes - specialized for contraction in the heart. Sperm cells - specialized for fertilization. Adipocytes - specialized for storing fat. Osteoclasts - specialized for breaking down bone tissue.


Does The nucleus of a cell in your thigh muscle contains the same genes as the nucleus of a cell in your brain?

Yes, the nucleus of a cell in your thigh muscle and the nucleus of a cell in your brain both contain the same set of genes. However, different genes are activated in different types of cells, leading to the development of specialized muscle or brain cells with distinct functions.


Why do nerve and muscle cells permanently leave the cell cycle?

Nerve and muscle cells permanently leave the cell cycle because they have exited the cell cycle and differentiated into their specific functions. These cells have reached a state of maturity where they are specialized for their roles in transmitting signals (nerve cells) or generating force (muscle cells), and no longer require division for growth or repair.


Is a muscle cell pluripotent?

No, not as it is; yet it is becoming increasingly evident that, by Our Laboratory Hi-Jinks, many examples of otherwise 'Determined Cells' may be Biochemically Reverted to a "pluripotent" State.


What does unspecialised cell mean?

An unspecialised cell, often referred to as a stem cell, is a type of cell that has not yet developed into a specific cell type with a specialized function. These cells have the ability to divide and differentiate into various specialized cells, such as muscle, nerve, or blood cells, depending on the signals they receive from their environment. Unspecialised cells play a crucial role in growth, development, and tissue repair in organisms.

Is muscle cell an example of a gamete cell?

A muscel cell is not an example of a gamete cell. A gamete cell is a reproductive cell that unite during sexual reproduction to form a new cell called the zygote. In males the sperm is the gamete cell and in females the ovum is the gamete cell.


Example of a specialized cell.?

A red blood cell is a specialized cell that carries oxygen throughout the body. It is uniquely shaped to maximize its surface area for efficient gas exchange and lacks most organelles to make room for hemoglobin, the molecule that binds oxygen.


What are some examples of specialized cells present in cnidarians?

Some examples of specialized cells in cnidarians include cnidocytes (stinging cells) used for defense and capturing prey, sensory cells for detecting movement and light, and muscle cells for movement and contraction. Additionally, some cnidarians have specialized cells that secrete mucus or digestive enzymes for feeding.


What part of the muscle cell membrane contain acetylcholine receptors?

Acetylcholine receptors are located on the motor end plate of the muscle cell membrane. This specialized region is where the nerve cell communicates with the muscle cell, allowing for the initiation of muscle contraction in response to acetylcholine binding to its receptors.


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.


Why is a liver cell different from a muscle cell and a muscle cell is different from a fat cell?

DNA is alike in other cells of the body, but depending on the specific cell type, some genes may be turned on or off. this is why a liver cell is different from a muscle cell and a muscle cell is different from a fat cell.


In a organism containing many cells how is the work of the cell performed?

The nerve cells transport signals and your muscle cells are specialized for movement.
