Germ cells are the reproductive cells in living organisms . They are formed near the alimentary canal of an embryo and then goes to growing gonads where gametes are produced. In males, the gamete is the sperm and the gonad is the testes whereas in females the gamete if the egg or ovum and the gonad is the ovaries.

What is the largest cell in the male human body?

The largest cell in the male human body is the sperm cell, also known as a spermatozoon. It is approximately 50 micrometers long.


What is the shortest cell in human body?

There are a number of contenders for the position of smallest cell in the human body. The head of the sperm is on average 5 to 6 micro meters. The flagellum is up to 50 micrometers long. Also some says Granule Cell of the Cerebellum is the smallest cell of the human body it is approximately 4um to 4.5um in size. The size of the RBC also found as around 5 micrometers. In terms of volume most of the scientists suggest that sperm is the smallest cell.


How many chomosomes in your 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.


Largest and smallest cell in human body?

The ovum is the largest cell in the human body, typically visible to the naked eye without the aid of a microscope or other magnification device.The smallest is the male sperm cell, it is one-tenth of the diameter of a human hair.Answered By: Ali Sabah Al-Takmachi, College: Medicine, University of SharjahWhat you said is right.. but, you should mention the sizes also, 2.5 to 3.5 for the sperm and 120 to 150 microns for the ovum. Thank You.


In what type of human cell is the chromosome number 23?

The chromosome number 23 is found in human sex cells, such as eggs (in females) and sperm (in males). These cells are known as haploid cells, containing half the normal number of chromosomes found in somatic cells.

Where does the sperm cell reach maturity?

The human sperm cell reaches maturity in the scrotum. Since it requires lesser temperature than the human body, hence sperms develop and reach maturity in the scrotum.

When the body is created the sperm and egg creates a stem cell. These multiply and become all cells of the body with different functions but the same DNA.
