Question

Discuss the various shapes of cells found in human body and give one example of each.

Answer 1

There are over 200 different cell types in the human body. Each type of cells is specialised to carry out a particular function, either solely, but usually by forming a particular tissue. Different tissues then combine and form specific organs, where the organ is like a factory where every type of cell has its own job.

Since every tissue has its own function that contributes to the multifunctionality of an organ, every type of cell is equally important. The most important types of cells are listed below.
