Location : The Airway

Function : Club Cells serve many protective roles in the Airway, being able to repair the airway after injury, produce anti-inflammatory proteins and also help with the immune system, and help with detoxification.

Goblet Cell

Location : The Airway

Function : Goblet Cells secrete mucin and create a protective mucus layer. They also play a role in immunoregulation.

Basal Cell

Location : The Airway

Function : Basal Cells provide an area for ciliated and goblet cells to attach to the basal lamina, and they also provide injury response.

Alveolar Cells

Location : The Lungs

Function : The Alveolar Cells have four major functions, which are synthesis and secretion of surfactant, xenobiotic metabolism, transepithelial movement of water, and regeneration after injury.

Ciliated Cells

Location : Respiratory tract

Function : Move in rhythmic motion to help the airway clean, line upper respiratory tract

Location : Gastrointestinal tract, stomach, and pancreas

Function : Enteroendocrine cells produce hormones which help regulate food digestion and absorption, and also help regulate the amount of insulin released into the body.

Paneth Cells

Location : Small Intestine

Function : Paneth Cells release antimicrobial peptides and proteins along with other compounds that are essential to our health and immunity from diseases.

Absorptive cells

Location : Small Intestine and the Colon

Function : These cells which line the Small Intestine are crucial to the absorption of any and all nutrients that pass through the intestine.

Smooth Muscle cells

Location : Stomach and intestines

Function : aid in involuntary action in the digestion of food (peristalsis)

Mucosa Cell

Location : Lining of the intestines and stomach

Function : Secrete mucous - lines surface of internal organs such as the stomach

Goblet cells

Location : Large intestine

Function : Found in the epithelial lining of organ, secrete mucous

Chief cells

Location : Stomach

Function : Secrete pepsins

Parietal Cells

Location : Stomach

Function : Secrete acid

Hepatocytes

Location : In the liver

Function : form and secrete bile

Tuft cells

Location : Intestine, Stomach

Function : Promote immunity against parasitic helminths or protozoa

Location : Bone Marrow

Function : B Cells are a type of white blood cell that create antibodies, which are essential to the body to help fight off any sort of harmful pathogens that make you sick

T Cells

Location : T Cells are located in almost every part of tissue in the human body, including the brain

Function : The T Cell is also a white blood cell, just like the B Cell, but unlike the B Cell, the T Cell focuses primarily on cells that have been taken over by viruses, and cells that have turned into cancerous cells.

Location : Pancreas

Function : When glucose levels drop, the pancreas releases Alpha cells, which produce a hormone called glucagon, which is a type of peptide. This hormone helps raise the blood glucose back up.

Endocrine cells-makeup the glands of endocrine system and their major function is the release of hormones

Oocytes - Female egg

Gamete - Male sperm cells

Zygote - Fertilized single cell that divides rapidly to produce fetus

Mucosa Cells - Make up the mucosal tissues that line the reproductive tract - major function is the release of hormones

Location : Epidermis

Function : Melanocytes provide pigmentation for the skin, appendages and hairs on the skin.

Epithelial Cells - Line surface area on the outside, lines inside of organs

Endothelial Cells - Make up the inner layers of organs and vessels

Basal Cells- Constantly divide to make new cells and pushed upwards

Fat cells(Adipocytes) - Contain droplet of stored fat that can be used for energy

Keratinocytes - Synthesize a tough protein called keatin

Merkel Cells- Touch receptor (Found in basal layer)

Location : Around the body

Function : These cells are responsible for all movement under voluntary control. These cells are extremely long, as much as a 2-3 centimeters long.

Smooth Muscle Cells

Location : All visceral organs excluding the heart.

Function : Smooth muscle cells form smooth muscles, which control all the involuntary actions inside our bodies. It helps with Digestion, Nutrient Acquisition, Expulsion of waste products in the urinary system, and helps the electrolyte balance in the body.

Cardiac Muscle Cells

Location : The walls of the heart

Function : The cardiac muscle cells are responsible for the contractility of the heart, and as a whole the ability of the heart to pump blood throughout the body and regulating the contraction and relaxation of the heart.

Location : Central Nervous System

Function : Neuron cells use electrical and chemical signals to send information between different areas between the brain, spinal cord, and entire body.

Glial Cells

Location : Central Nervous System

Function : Glial cells, which are the most abundant type of cell in the nervous system, provide support for the essential function of neurons, as well as helping maintain homeostasis.

Location : Testes

Function : The Sperm Cell contains one half of the genetic material required for the creation of a zygote, which is the result of the merging of a egg cell and a sperm cell.

Egg Cell

Location : The Ovaries

Function : Once a sperm cell has entered a Egg Cell, the cytoplasm in the egg cell begins to reprogram to begin the development of a embryo.

Zygote cell

Location : Fallopian Tube

Function : A Zygote Cell undergoes cellular division in a process referred to as cleavage to form a embryo. The embryo then after 8 weeks develops into a fetus.

Location : Bone Marrow

Function : Red Blood Cells are responsible for transport and distribution of oxygen to your bodies tissue's. It is also responsible for carrying Carbon Dioxide out.

White Blood Cells

Location : In the blood and some lymph tissue.

Function : The function of white blood cells are to fight infections in the body. They can also be used through a CBC test to look for potential diseases, like leukemia.

Cardiac cells- make up myocardium and most of the tissues of the heart.

Osteoclast - absorbs bone tissue during growth and healing, break down bone

Osteocytes - bone cell that develops when osteoblasts become embedded in the matrix

Osteoprogenitor - form the osteoblast

Transitional cells - Form the lining of the ureters, a portion of the urethra and he urinary bladder

Renal Cells - Line the renal tubules
