1. SpecializedCells
2. Specialized Cells Plant’s and
animal’s cells are specialized
to carry their job efficiently. 
Specialized cells are cells that
have a particular adaptation
to preform a special task.
3. Animal Specialized Cells 1.
Red Blood Cell 2. White blood
Cell and its types 3. Ciliated
Epithelial Cell 4. Nerve Cell 5.
Muscle Cell 6. Sperm Cell
(gamete cell) 7. Ovum Cell
(gamete cell)
4. Red Blood Cells O Red
blood cells are very important
for our bodies. It is found in
the blood. Our blood is made
up of a liquid part. The red
blood cells are found in this
liquid part of the blood.
5. Place of Red Blood Cell O
Where is it found? It’s found
in the blood.
6. Adaptation of the Red
Blood Cell o What is its
adaptation? O It has the
biconcave disc-shape for
more surface area in
exchanging gases. O It has
no nucleus in its cytoplasm to
have more space for the
haemoglobin.
7. Functionof the
RedBloodCell o What is the
function of this cell? O It
carries the oxygen. O It
makes the blood red because
it has haemoglobin.
8. WhiteBloodCell O White
blood cells are really
important. It protects our
lives everyday. Without we
won’t be able to live.
9. Placeof WhiteBloodCells O
Where is it found? It is found
in the blood.
10. Adaptationof
WhiteBloodCell o What is its
adaptation? O There are 2
types of white blood cells:
Lymphocytes They have large
nuclei. They produce
antibodies to kill bacteria.
Phagocytes They have lobed
nuclei. They engulf bacteria
because the nucleus allows it
to change its shape.
11. Function of White Blood
Cell o What is its function? O
It kills the bacteria to protect
our lives.
12. CiliatedEpithelialCells O
Ciliated epithelial cells are very
important. They protect us by
trapping any dust or bacteria
in the air we breathe.
Smoking stops the ciliated
epithelial cells from working.
If it stopped it may affect on
our lungs.
13. Place of the Ciliated
Epithelial Cells o Where is it
found? It is found in the
trachea, bronchi and
oviducts.
14. Adaptation of Ciliated
Epithelial Cells o What is its
adaptation? O It has cilia
which is produced by the
cytoplasm. Cilia is a thin hair
like structure.
15. Functionof the
CiliatedEpithelialCells o What is
its function? O Mucus traps
the dust particles, then the
cilia beats in a rhythm to
move this mucus out of the
body. O It helps the ovum to
move.
16. Muscle Cells O Muscle cells
are very important. They
allow our bodies to move.
Without it we won’t be able
to move.
17. PlaceofMuscleCells o
Where is it found? It is found
in the muscular system.
18. Adaptationof the Muscle
Cell o What is its adaptation?
O It is long. It has bands of
proteins. The muscle cells are
arranged in fibers that helps
it to run along the length of
the muscle.
19. Function of Muscle Cells o
What are their functions? O
They contract which helps
the muscle to move.
20. Neuron/ NerveCells O
Nerve cells are very
important. They send us the
impulses to accomplish a
task.
21. Placeof the Neuron o
Where is it? It is found in our
nervous system.
22. Adaptation of the Neuron
o What is its adaptation? O It
is long and branched.
23. Functionof the Neuron o
What is the function of it? O It
carries the impulses. The way
it is branched allows the
impulses to be conducted
and co-ordinated. It carries
the impulses long distances
without getting interrupted.
24. Gametes or s*x Cells O
Gametes are cells that are
responsible in reproduction.
O There are 2 types of
gametes: Gametes Ovum
Sperm Cell
25. SpermCellO Sperm cell is
the male reproductive cell.
26. Placeof SpermCell o Where
is it? It in the male
reproductive system.
27. Adaptation of Sperm Cell o
How does it look like? O It is
long and has a neck, head
and a tail. The head produces
enzymes to enter to the ovum
so fertilization can take place.
The neck has lots of
mitrochondria which
provides it with the energy it
needs. The tail pushes side to
side to push the cell forward.
28. Function of Sperm Cell o
What does it do? O It carries
the genetic information of
the male parent. It combines
with the egg cell to form a
new embryo.
29. Egg Cell/Ovum O It is the
reproductive cell in the
female.
30. Place of Ovum o Where is
it? It is in the female
reproductive system.
31. Adaptation of Ovum o
How does it look like? O It is
very large. It has lots of
cytoplasm which acts as the
stored food for the
developing embryo.
32. Functionof Ovum o What
does it do? O It provides food
for the growing embryo. It
stores the genetic
information of the female
part.
33. O All of these are animal
cells. All of them are very
important for our bodies.
34. Plant Specialized Cells 1.
Root Hair Cell 2. Palisade Cell
3. Xylem Vessel /Cell
35. RootHair Cell O It is very
useful for the plants. It allows
more water and mineral
