The anterior horn cell (nerve cell in the cerebellum) is the largest cell in diameter (135 μm). The longest cell also belongs to the nervous cells (such as the pseudounipolar neurons).

Which cell is the largest human cell in terms of volume?

The largest human cell in terms of volume is the ovum, or egg cell. It can measure around 100 micrometers in diameter, making it significantly larger than other human cells. Unlike most cells, which are microscopic, the ovum is visible to the naked eye and plays a crucial role in reproduction.

Are the largest cells in the body the muscle cells?

Depends on how you define "largest." The longest cell in the human body is actually a nerve cell in the leg (because it stretches essentially the entire human body - from brain to foot). But in terms of microns (how cells are measured), the anterior horn cell of the spine is the largest in circumfrance at 135 micrometers.

What is the biggest a red blood cell or a cheek cell?

A cheek cell is generally larger than a red blood cell. Cheek cells, which are epithelial cells, typically measure about 30-60 micrometers in diameter, while red blood cells are about 6-8 micrometers in diameter. Thus, in terms of size, cheek cells are significantly bigger than red blood cells.
