Cell Types Worksheet

Cell that produces mucous, often in simple columar and pseudostratified columnar epithelium. Shaped like wine glass
Cell that produces fibers and ground substance that forms the matrix of fibrous connective tissue
Phagocytic cell that wanders through connective tissue and engulfs and destroys bacteria
Largest WBC; present in inflammation and viral infections. Highly phagocytic Antigen-Presenting-Cell
Least abundant WBC that spends most time in connective tissue and defends against infection and disease
B-cell lymphocyte in presence of foreign agents that synthesizes antibodies
Cell that secretes heparin and histamine
Fat cells that appear in small clusters in some fibrous connective tissue
Cell that secretes matrix of cartilage tissue, until trapped in cavities called lacunae, then become chondrocytes
Cartilaginous cell enclosed inside the lacunae.
Bone-forming cells that deposit bone matrix
Bone cell enclosed by it's own matrix, trapped in lacunae
Macrophage of bone surface, dissolves matrix and returns minerals of bone to extracellular fluid
Red Blood Cell, transports oxygen and carbon dioxide
Formed element of blood-plays large role in blood clotting
Nerve cells that communicate with electrical and chemical signals
Neuroglia to protect and assist neurons
Cell of cardiac and smooth muscle
Indifferentated cells not yet specifying a function, but with the potential to develop into any type of fully differentiated human cell
Majority of epidermal cells; cells that synthesize keratin
Produce melanin
Receptor cell for touch
Immune cells in the epidermis, Antigen-Presenting-Cell, uses receptor-mediated endocytosis
Principle glia of the PNS-support neurons in the PNS
Cell that myelinates the brain and spinal cord (CNS)
Cell that secretes and circulates cerebrospinal fluid
