A human diploid cell has 23 pairs of chromosomes.
A diploid cell has two complete sets of chromosomes, one set inherited from each parent. This type of cell contains two copies of each chromosome, one from the mother and one from the father. Diploid cells make up the majority of cells in the human body.
A body cell that has 46 chromosomes and is said to be 2n, it is a diploid cell.
If the somatic (normal) cell has 38 chromosomes, then the diploid number will be 38. If the gametes (sperm and ovum/egg) have 38 chromosomes, then the diploid number will be 76.

Isn't a diploid any cell with a full set of chromosomes?
There are 46 chromosomes in a human diploid cell (22 paired autosomes, 2 sex chromosomes).
Yes, a diploid cell is a type of body cell. Diploid cells contain two sets of chromosomes (one from each parent) and are found in most tissues of the body. These cells are responsible for growth, development, and maintenance of the body.
In a normal Human body cell (not a gamete) there are 46 chromosomes. This is not the same number of chromosomes in our bodies, only in one cell, and there are trillions of cells in the human body. In a gamete (a sperm cell or egg cell) there are 23 chromosomes. When the sperm and egg cell nuclei fuse in fertilisation, a diploid cell of 46 chromosomes is produced.
All of the cells in a human body, including the stomach are diploid. There is one cell that is not diploid and that is the sex cell. It is haploid.
Fifty percent chromosomes from a diploid cell are put into a haploid sex cell. This is achieved by meiosis.
A diploid cell contains two sets of chromosomes, one set inherited from each parent. This means that in humans, for example, a diploid cell typically contains 46 total chromosomes, with 23 chromosomes inherited from each parent.
