Cell function
Cells carry out specialized functions throughout the body and each cell type functions distinctly from other cell types. Some cellular functions include transporting nutrients throughout the body and producing energy. One specialized cell is muscle cells which function to create a force that moves parts of the body. Another example are bone cells, whose functions include protecting internal organs from damage and storing minerals such as calcium.
