Is the nerve cell largest in the human body?

the nerve cell is often thought to be the largest cell in the human body however, contrary to beleif, it isn't. In fact it is the ovum that is the largest single cell. By definitinon the nerve cell running from the lower legg upwards should be, however it has gaps in, synapses, which conclusively have been described to not form one cell, but many cells. this question has been raised in many debates, and the egg cell, (ovum), has won the biggest cell award 2008, and will do for the next 3000 years it is thought, until the neve cell may finnaly triumph.


What cell is longer than most cells and contains many nuclei?
