Cell Extensions Surface extensions found in some cells Cilia move materials across the cell surface Located in the respiratory system to move mucus Flagella move the cell The only flagellated cell in the human body is sperm Microvilli are tiny, fingerlike extensions of the plasma membrane Increase surface area for absorption Common in intestines and kidneys © 2015 Pearson Education, Inc.

Cell Diversity The human body houses over 200 different cell types Don’t worry- you don’t have to know them all! Cells vary in length from 1/12,000 of an inch to over 1 yard (nerve cells) Cell shape reflects its specialized function an example of how structure determines function © 2015 Pearson Education, Inc.
