Ever wonder what sort of cell you’re tracing? Sometimes we’re not even sure! Usually we’ve got an idea of what type of cell we’re asking you to trace. Sometimes though we’re not sure, or we’re not able to tell until the cell has started to take shape. How do we tell what type of cell it is? We look at the characteristics of the cell. Is it asymmetric, does it list to one side, do the branches all stay in one plane?
Pretty interesting stuff, right?
I’m attaching some papers that have some great images of cell morphology. Take a gander at the images, and take a look at some of our active cells , see if you can pick out which cells are which. Especially the Input to J#1, we’re still trying to figure out what type it is!
p.s. you don’t need to slog through the whole of both papers, the pictures and diagrams themselves are quite useful!
…so it’s kind of a habit. Though, I do believe you all don’t want All the blanks filled in. Figured that one out from the tutorials. Good things those tutorials. 
But hopefully, the little pieces I do find will be a stepping stone for someone else to build on and get a much better snap shot. I’m big on team work. :)…
