Biology

irakobra [83]3 years ago

The structure and shape of each type of human cell depends on what function it will perform in the body. For example, red blood cells (RBCs) are very small, flat discs, which allows them to easily fit through narrow capillaries and around sharp corners in the circulatory system to deliver oxygen throughout the body.

The elongated shape of muscle cells allows the contraction proteins to line up in an overlapping pattern that makes muscle flexing possible.

And human sperm cells’ structures allow them to “swim” long distances to reach an egg for fertilization

Why does an octopus or squid use its tentacles?
spin [16.1K]
Octopus and squid have little suction cups on their tentacles. It helps with sticking onto food (so it doesn't get away) and also helps with sticking into things. If it wanted to camouflage into some rocks, it can use its tentacles to cling to to the rock.

Tentacles can also grab and carry things. Scientists have made tests where they would put a clam in a jar with the lid screwed on. The octopus would grab onto the jar and use its tentacles to twist the lid off.

Without tentacles, octopuses and squids would be pretty helpless and probably couldn't survive in the deep ocean.
