I do not know about epithelial cells but i do know this: Red blood cells are the smallest ones measuring about 6 or 7 um. Sperm cells are also very small(25um) but are big compared to red blood cells. Its dificult to compare these cells to muscle cells because they are long but skinny. ________________________________________
(New to this answers thing, don't feel comfortable deleting other people's stuff) I just did a bio lab and these are my measurements: Red blood cells: 8µm wide; 10µm long Sperm cells: 2µmwide; 10µm long (known to vary)
Striated muscle (This is skeletal muscle, like a bicep; I don't know how it compares to smooth muscle and they really varied in length) 40µm wide; 430µm long Cheek epithelial cells: 59µm wide; 63µm long
Mucles cells ar very long and consist of many nuclei. they are by far biggers than red blood cells and sperms cells. Sperms cells have a head containing a nucleus with genetic materia but they also contain a tail used for movement. So they are the 2nd biggest out of the 3. red blood cells have no nucleus amd they are not true cells because they have no organells and do not go through the cells cycle, but either way they are the smallest in this list.
The size of average human cells ranges from 10µ - 100µ. The sperm head is the widest part of the cell and it is 5.1 µm by 3.1 µm. The RBC is 5 µm, a squamous epithelium cell has a diameter of 40-60 µm and a smooth muscle cell has a diameter of 2-10 µm in diameter.The average for the sperm cell is 4.1 µm while the smooth cell average is 6 µm. Making the sperm cell smaller.
sperm cells
Squamous cells are flat. If you take a swab of your check, you can see cells that fit this description under a microscope.
muscle Tissue
The wall of pharynx consists of 4 layers: 1. Mucosa: Epithelium: Nasopharynx: respiratory epithelium "pseudostratified columnar ciliated with goblet cells". Oropharynx: oral mucosa "non keratinized stratified squamous epithelium". Lamina propria: Dense fibrous layer rich in elastic fibers - contains mucuos glands. Pharyngeal mucosa lacks muscularis mucosae. 2. Submucosa: loose CT 3. Muscular layer: this is composed of inner longitudinal and outer oblique striated muscle. 4. Fibrosa: thin layer of fibrous CT.
epithelium tissue
The heart is made of muscle, connective, epithelium, and nervous tissue.
Sperm cells have the smallest diameter of the cells mentioned if measuring at the head. However, the flagellum makes the cell appear very long.
Simple Squamous Epithelium
A thin, single-celled, layer of squamous endothelial tissue overlapped inside by an interlacing network of other cell tissue. There are two more layers on top of this inner layer.
Bronchioles are approximately 1mm or less in diameter and their walls consist of ciliated cuboidal epithelium and a layer of smooth muscle.
The walls of the vagina are lined with a mucous membrane called vaginal epithelium. This epithelium is non-keratinized stratified squamous epithelium, which helps to protect the underlying tissues and maintain the pH and moisture balance of the vagina. The vaginal walls also contain elastic connective tissue and muscle fibers.
The esophagus is made up of tissue is stratisfied squamous and cuboidal. The cuboidal tissue is in cubes, the width is the same as the height. The trachea has tissue made up of Pseudostrasified epithelia cells and is columnar, higher in height than width
The diameter of the airways diminishes, the epithelium changes, cartilage disappears early in the tertiary bronchi, and the bronchioles have only smooth muscle spiraled around them!
Smooth Muscles
Squamous cells are flat. If you take a swab of your check, you can see cells that fit this description under a microscope.
It is made up of a muscle called "Sphincter muscle".
epithelium, connective, muscle, & nervous
The organization of a skeletal muscle from smallest to largest is as follows: myofilaments > myofibrils > muscle fiber > fascicle > muscle
