Neurons with axons and dendrite for propagation of nerve impulse.

 

Smooth muscle cells with spindle like shape, adapted to contribute to involuntary contraction in range of vessels in the body: intestine, arteries and veins, trachea, bronchi etc, renal tubules and so on. 

 

Skeletal muscle cells with actin-myosin net work contributing to Z-bands for voluntary contraction during movement. 

 

Cardiac muscle cells with cardiomyosin-actin network contributing to intercalated cells in cardiac muscle that form intercalated discs. 

 

Red blood cells with no nucleus but loaded with hemoglobin for oxygen transport. 

 

Adipose cells with large goblets of white and brown fat.

 

Squamous epithelial cells forming epithelial lining of various tubules.

 

Columnar epithelial cells for secretory function in endocrine glands. 

 

And the list goes on for you to select which one you find easy.
