Sliding Gears in a transmission are straight-tooth spur gears with a taper (also known as a lead) to make engaging easier. Helical gears are mostly used in a transmission because spur gears produce gear noise and have a great strain on the teeth of the gear since only one tooth can be in contact at any given time. But because helical gears cannot be taken out of mesh, spur gears are used for the reverse gear because reverse spins the opposite way and cannot be in constant mesh.

Pretty much all bikes qualify as chain and sprocket gear systems, and the ones with internal gears also have planetary gears inside their hubs. There are also two systems available that puts planetary gears in the crank assembly. Well, if it has an internally geared hub it has a more or less complicated set of planetary gears(depending on the no of gears). If it has experna gears then it has front set of sprockets and a rear set of sprockets. By running the chain over these sprockets in different combinations you get different ratios that can be used depending on how hard the rider wants to pedal.
