no, the smallest cell ever is your white blood cells, they defend your body from all sorts of diseases, from cancer to dimenture. They are one millionth of a centimetre.

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.


Is a sperm cell large in size?

No. Seminal fluid is only about 10% sperm.


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.


Which is larger the egg cell or the sperm cell?

Egg cells are the biggest: you could only fit one on the head of a pin. But I'm not sure if a sperm cell is bigger than a red blood cell or vice versa.


What is the smallest cell in the human body?

The smallest cell in the human body is the male sperm. The cell head is about 3 µm by 5 µm and the tail (flagellum) is about 41 µm long (µm = micrometers). Oddly enough, the largest cell in the human body is the female egg (ovum), which is about the size of the period at the end of this sentence.
