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 largest muscle?

Where is the largest muscle in the human body?
gluteus maximus is the largest muscle sartorius muscle is the longest muscle
What are some differences between epithelial cells and muscle cells?
One difference between epithelial cells and muscle cells is their location in the human body. Epithelial cells are skin cells on the outside of the body. Muscle cells are located in the muscle under the skin.
Which muscle is the largest in the body?
The Stomach
What chest muscle in cats are the largest?

What cells expand and contract to move the body.?

How many muscle cells make up the body?
The exact number of muscle cells in the body can vary based on individual factors such as body size and muscle mass, but on average, it's estimated that an adult human body contains around 650-850 muscles with billions of muscle cells.
Are the abdominal muscles the largest muscle group in the body?
If you are talking about actual mass size, the quadriceps and hamstrings would be the largest muscle group in the body.
Under what condition are muscle cells produces?
Muscle cells are produced during development in the embryo from stem cells called myoblasts. Muscle growth can also occur through exercise or injury, where satellite cells are activated to differentiate into new muscle cells.
Which cell has largest number of mitochondria?
Muscle cells, especially those found in heart muscle (cardiac muscle) and slow-twitch skeletal muscle fibers, tend to have the largest number of mitochondria due to their high energy demands. This allows them to efficiently produce the ATP needed for sustained muscle contractions.
Where are skeletal muscle cells found in the body?
In the bones of the body
What is a group of muscle cells called?
Muscle cells grouped together are called muscle tissue. The muscle cells contract and elongate to make the movement in the body parts. Muscle cells are found in several specialized forms such as Cardiac, skeletal or smooth muscles etc.Muscle cells grouped together are called muscle tissue.
