The cells are fundamental components of all living creatures. The human body consists of billions of cells. They give structure to the body, absorb nutrients from food, convert these nutrients into energy, and to perform specialized tasks. Cells also contain the body hereditary and can make copies of them.
Cells have many parts, each with a different function. Some of these parts, so-called body or, specialized structures that perform certain functions in the cell. Human cells contain the following elements, in alphabetical order:
Cytoplasm
Inside the cell, the cytoplasm consists of a jelly-like fluid (called cytosol) and other structures surrounding the nucleus.
Cytoskeleton
The Cytoskeleton is a network of long fibers which form the structural framework of the cell. The Cytoskeleton has many features, including the determination of cell shape, is involved in cell division, and allows the cells to move. It also provides a track-like system that handles the transport of bodies and or other substances in the cells.
Endoplasmic reticulum (ER)
This process helps the body or created by the molecules in the cell. The endoplasmic reticulum also transports these molecules to their specific destination within or outside the cell.
Golgi apparatus
The Golgi Apparatus packages molecules processed by the endoplasmic reticulum to be transported outside the cell.
Lysosomes and peroxisomes
These organelles are recycling center of the cell. I digest foreign bacteria that invade the cells, cells to eliminate toxic substances and reusing worn out cell components.
There are still lot more like Mitochondria, Nucleus, Plasma membrane and etc.
