Specialized cells are called committed cells. They can only divide to form cells of the same type.
Example:
Muscle cells are specialized cells that divide to form more muscle cells
There are
myocytes (muscle cells),
neurons (nerve cells),
lymphocytes (white blood cells),
erythrocytes (red blood cells),
fibroblasts (which connect things together),
epithelial cells (which line organs),
osteocytes (which make bone),
chondrocytes (which make cartilage),
oligodendrocytes (which surround nerves

What is the name of the specialised cells which take in water and minerals?
it's called your dad
How are stem cells trnsplanted?
Stem cells are cells that have not specialised. Specialist cells can only be the one thing that they are specialised for; ie, you cannot turn skin cells into a heart, or liver cells into a brain. Stem cells have not specialised and can therefore become any type of cell. I am not sure how they are stimulated to become one kind or another, but they can. Adult stem cells are not as good as embryonic stem cells, but because harvesting embryonic stem cells requires the destruction of a human embryo it is banned in many countries.
What is a localised part of the body specialised for particular functions?
cells
What specialised cell is used in reproduction?
The gamete. Haploid egg and sperm cells in sexually reproducing organisms.
What is a NK cell?
Natural Killer cells are lymphocytes (white blood cells specialised in immunity) that are cytotoxic, meaning that they produce toxins that affect other cells.

What are the Tiny hairs that act like tiny brooms to sweep out dirt?
They occur on the surface of specialised cells and are called "cilia".
How is a sperm cell produced?
You don't want to know. ( He,he!) Sperm cells are are produced in specialised tissue called the germinal epithelium. During puberty, hormones stimulate the sperm cells to become active. The process for producing sperm cells is called spermatogenesis.
How are blood cells 'specialised' cells?
They're specialised because their sole job is to transport oxygen to the body's cells, and carry carbon dioxide away. This is similar to white blood cells who's only job is to defend the body from invading diseases.

How are birds sex cells specialised?
no they are all sexually enviroment
What is a localised part of the body specialised for particular functions?
cells
What does unspecialised?
Unspecialised means no specialised function. For example ciliated cells vs nonciliated cells.
