The cell responsible for heart contraction is a type of muscle cell called a cardiac muscle cell. These cells are specialized for generating the rhythmic contractions that pump blood throughout the body. Hormone production is mainly carried out by endocrine cells found in glands like the pituitary, thyroid, and adrenal glands. These cells produce and release hormones into the bloodstream to regulate various bodily functions.
For information transfer, nerve cells called neurons are responsible. Neurons transmit electrical impulses and chemical signals to communicate information within the nervous system. Lastly, structural support is provided by cells like fibroblasts in connective tissue, osteocytes in bone, and chondrocytes in cartilage. These cells help maintain the structural integrity and support the framework of tissues and organs.
