Answer 2

Sperm cell is the smallest cell in the human body.

Answer 3

Granule Cell of the Cerebellum

Answer 4

Nerve cell is the longest.

Answer 5

@studystagram i think human granule cells are the smallest neurons.

Answer 6

yup it's sperm cells.

Answer 7

The smallest cell in the body is the sperm cell.

Answer 8

But that's if it is a male body. Other than that it would be a red blood cell. Is this correct @Abhisar

Answer 9

@gabebro13 In HUMANS sperm cell is the smallest and Ovum is the largest. In Females platelets or thrombocytes are the smallest.

Answer 10

So no matter what, we should always count sperm as the smallest? @Abhisar

Answer 11

yes, if someone asks u the smallest cell in Human Beings it would be sperm cells because male and female are both human beings. They are not different species.

Answer 12

getting my points ?

Answer 13

@Gabebro13 ?

Answer 14

Okay, yeah. That makes sense. I always thought it should be considered the blood cell since only males have sperm. But yeah I guess you learn something new everyday. Thanks @Abhisar !!

Answer 15

Blood cells are larger than platelets or thrombocytes. So even after sperm cells, platelets are the smallest.

Answer 16

Oh. Then my old biology teacher should be fired...

Answer 17

Answer 18

No latex. Can't see it

Answer 19

@Abhisar If you are a absolute slave to phylogenetic species concepts you could make the argument that males and females are different species.

Answer 20

Course, it makes no sense. I follow the phylogenetic species concept because the biological species concept just does not work in fungi.

Answer 21

No i am not, actually every individual is a female !

Answer 22

or better say that derived from female !

Answer 23

Only to a point

Answer 24

More destined unless told otherwise.

Answer 25

yep !

Answer 26

We are a sort of variants of females !
:D

Answer 27

You can even have XY that are still female.

Oh, @Gabebro13 Some nerve cells in the brain are smaller than blood cells as well.

Answer 28

This just got complicated o.O

Answer 29

@mrdoldum like ??

Answer 30

Yep, that is why men have nipples and have a clear line where what would have been a vaginal opening fused together.

Answer 31

Like?? What, the cells?

Answer 32

perineum

Answer 33

yes the nerve cells

Answer 34

which are smaller than platellets

Answer 35

*platelets.

Answer 36

No, red blood cells. But now that I say that I think they are about the same size.

Answer 37

Hmm..!

Answer 38

Granule cells I think it is. They may be longer etc, but I believe they have much less mass. For instance, the axon can be around 15um long, but only ~.5 um wide

Answer 39

yes they are longer than RBCs. Much longer !

Answer 40

Okay, this got weird. Imma go now...

Answer 41

Really depends on who you want to measure something. Dimensions or mass.

Answer 42

Even RBC are 5-6 \(\mu\) in diameter.

Answer 43

and they are much lighter than granule cells.

Answer 44

Are you sure, I thought they could be 10 um.

Answer 45

But overall if u talk about the size, Granule cells appear larger.

Answer 46

Yes i am sure, there can be RBCs upto 8\(\mu\) but on an average its 5-6

Answer 47

Larger because of their length.

Answer 48

egg cells are so large that unfertilized you can see them with the naked eye. In fact egg cells are the largest of all cells. Here is another record in the cells. Skin cells can divide as many as 60 times a day which is more than enough to cover a square kilometer

Answer 49

and platelets are cell fragments from megakaryocytes, not cells themselves
