SUPPORTIVE CELLS
36
These cells unlike others haploid (i.e. have only one set chromosome). They are present only in the males after puberty. These cells have a tail which enables them to swim and move in the female uterus. They have enzyme namely hyaluronidase which help them penetrate through uterine tissue and reach oocytes.
SPERMS
37
Cells are haploid and present in adult female genital system. They are also haploid like sperms. They start to form after puberty and continue so till the stage of menopause. They accept sperm cells to form zygote (fertilized egg). Which grows further in the uterus to form a baby.
OOCYTES
38
These are basic cells or parent cells which can differentiate into any cell based on the requirement. These stem cells in the human body are given so much importance due to their promising role in the treatment of disorders in the future.
STEM CELLS
39
These cells are in the eyes and have capacity to capture image color and light
RODS AND CONES
40
These cells are present as lining of respiratory tract and esophagus and have a pointed thread-like cilia which move in particular direction to pass material.
CILIATED CELLS
41
These are quite interesting cells. They are never attached to one another. _ freely flow in the liquid blood. Some of them are not alive (RBC's)v while others have varied shapes like WBC, platelets (spindle shape). Further these WBC's are of different types. Of these WBC's macrophages have ability to eat (gulp) any foreign particle like bacteria in the body. Hence, they are body defense cells.
