, Animal Cell Specialisation
Most animal cells are specialised.
They have adaptations that help it with its job.
A cell specialising is called differentiation.
EG - Sperm cells have lots of mitochondria (provide energy), have a long tail to swim to the
ovum, Contain enzymes to digest their way through the outer layer of the ovum.
EG - Nerve cells have axons which carry the electrical impulses from one part of the body to
another. Myelin insulates the axon, speeds up transmission of impulses. The end of the axon
has synapses which allow the impulse to travel through different nerve cells. Dendrites have a
large surface area to connect with other nerve cells easier.
EG - Muscle cells have lots of mitochondria for energy, muscle cells join together to form
muscle tissue. Muscle cells can contract, Contain protein fibres which can change the length.
