Answer 1

Cells are the basic building blocks of all living things. They perform different functions at different organs.

1. SenseSof smell - chemoreceptors

2.Produces skin pigment - melanocyte.

3. Sense of balance - hair cell(of ear)

4. Consumes pathogen - microglial cell(they act as macrophages)

5. Glycogen - skeletal muscle

6.consumes bone tissue - osteoclast

7. Build cartilage - chondrocytes

8. Calmodulin - smooth muscle fibers

9. builds bone tissue - osteoblasts

10. Intercalated disc - cardiac muscle fibers.

11. Produces myelin - oligodendrocytes
