Many. As the cells descend from the fertilized zygote there are changes to which genes are even able to be expressed by altered proportions of transcription factors along with methylation of selected chromosomal regions. The distinction into 'types' is fairly arbitrary. Two cells of the same 'type' can be quite different in patterns of expressed genes.

Broadly divided, there are four types of cells:
Epithelial cells
Connective cells
Muscle cells
Nerve cells
If you want all the cells, here you go:
Squamous epithelial cells
Cuboidal epithelial cells
Columnar epithelial cells
Glandular epithelial cells
Red Blood Cells
White Blood Cells
Lymph
Bone cells
Tendon
Cartilage
Striated muscle cells (Voluntary muscle)
Non - striated muscle cells (Involuntary muscle)
Cardiac muscle cells (Heart muscle)
Neuron (Nerve cell)
Source(s): These are not ALL the cells in humans, these are found in mammals in general, but this should be enough. Visit this site for the entire list: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_cells - Biotech BoyLv 41 decade ago
There are about 210 distinct human cell types.
Below is the Website that will give you the names of them:
