    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

    There are about 210 distinct human cell types.

    Below is the Website that will give you the names of them:
