All animals consist of eukaryotic cells.

Animal cells are distinct from those of other eukaryotes, most

notably plants, as they lack cell walls and chloroplasts and have smaller vacuoles. Due to the lack of
a cell wall, animal cells can adopt a variety of shapes. Aphagocytic cell can even engulf other
structures.
There are many other types of cell. For instance, there are approximately 210 distinct cell types in the
adult human body.

The following are examples of structures and organelles that can be found in typical animal
cells:

Cell (Plasma) Membrane - thin, semi-permeable membrane that surrounds

the cytoplasm of a cell, enclosing its contents.
Centrioles - cylindrical structures that organize the assembly of microtubules
during cell division.
Cilia and flagella - specialized groupings of microtubules that protrude from some
cells and aid in cellular locomotion.
Cytoplasm - gel-like substance within the cell.
Cytoskeleton - network of fibers throughout the cell's cytoplasm that gives the cell
support and helps to maintain its shape.
Endoplasmic Reticulum - extensive network of membranes composed of both
regions with ribosomes (rough ER) and regions without ribosomes (smooth ER).
Golgi Complex - also called the Golgi apparatus, this structure is responsible for
manufacturing, storing and shipping certain cellular products.
Lysosomes - sacs of enzymes that digest cellular macromolecules such as nucleic
acids.
Microtubules - hollow rods that function primarily to help support and shape the cell.
Mitochondria - cell components that generate energy for the cell and are the sites
of cellular respiration.
Nucleus - membrane bound structure that contains the cell's hereditary information.
Nucleolus - structure within the nucleus that helps in the synthesis of
ribosomes.
Nucleopore - tiny hole within the nuclear membrane that allows nucleic
acids and proteins to move into and out of the nucleus.
Peroxisomes - enzyme containing structures that help to detoxify alcohol, form bile
acid, and break down fats.
Ribosomes - consisting of RNA and proteins, ribosomes are responsible for protein
assembly.
