Animal/ Plant cell

Parenchyma Cells

Cells that compose the middle layer of leaves and the inner and outer layers of stems and roots.

Collenchyma Cells

Elongated cells with thick cell walls, providing support and structure especially in young plants.

Sclerenchyma Cells

Rigid support cells with thick walls that come in various shapes.

Vascular Tissues

Groups of cells that conduct the movement of nutrients and water in plants.

Dermal Tissues

The outer protective covering of plants.

Ground Tissues

Tissues that are neither vascular nor dermal, primarily for storage in plants.

Meristematic Tissues

A collection of young cells that continuously reproduce through division.

Apical Meristem

Cells found at the growing regions of roots and shoots that contribute to length increase.

Lateral Meristem

Cells in vascular tissues that contribute to the thickness of plant parts.

Intercalary Meristem

Cells found between mature tissues, aiding in growth, especially in grasses.

Epidermis

A single layer of tightly packed cells covering and protecting the plant.

Periderm

Multi-layered dermal tissue commonly referred to as bark.

Skin Cells

Cells composed of keratinocytes and melanocytes, providing protection and color to the skin.

Myocytes

Long tubular muscle cells that facilitate movement in organisms.

Red Blood Cells

Cells that deliver oxygen to body parts; the majority of blood cells.

White Blood Cells

Cells that identify and destroy pathogens in the body.

Adipocytes

Fat cells serving as reserves of energy.

Neurons

Main cells of the nervous system, transmitting messages in the body.

Osteocytes

Bone cells embedded within bone matrix, providing structure and support.

Squamous Epithelium

Flat and thin epithelial cells found in skin and blood vessels.

Columnar Epithelium

Cylindrical epithelial cells aiding in nutrient movement, found in the stomach and intestines.

Glandular Epithelium

Columnar epithelial cells that secrete substances found in glands.

Ciliated Epithelium

Columnar cells with cilia, aiding in moving mucus along the respiratory tract.

Cuboidal Epithelium

Cube-like epithelial cells providing mechanical support, found in kidney tubules.

Stratified Epithelium

Layers of epithelial cells providing protection, found in the skin and esophagus.

Epithelial Tissue

A tissue type covering body surfaces and lining cavities.

Connective Tissue

Tissue that binds and supports various body parts and organs.

Muscular Tissue

Tissue composed of long fibers allowing movement.

Nervous Tissue

Tissue that processes and transmits information.

Simple Epithelial Tissue

Composed of a single layer of cells serving as linings.

Compound Epithelial Tissue

Composed of multiple layers, providing protective covering.

Blood

Fluid connective tissue made of plasma, red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets.

Bone

Hard connective tissue composed of cells embedded in a matrix of calcium and phosphorus.

Fibrous Connective Tissue

Tissue that includes ligaments and tendons, connecting bones and muscles.

Smooth Muscle

Involuntary muscle that moves food through the digestive system.

Cardiac Muscle

Involuntary branched muscle that facilitates heart contractions.

Cartilage

Flexible connective tissue providing support, found in the nose and ears.

Areolar Connective Tissue

Tissue that provides mechanical support inside organs.

Adipose Connective Tissue

Connective tissue filled with fat globules, acting as an insulator.

Guard Cells

Cells that control the opening and closure of the stoma in leaves.

Root Hairs

Extensions of root tissue increasing absorptive capacity.

Tracheids

Elongated xylem cells that transport water and nutrients.

Palisade Cells

Leaf cells designed for photosynthesis, containing chloroplasts.

Microvilli

Finger-like projections on the intestinal wall enhancing nutrient absorption.
