How Does Cell Size Vary Among Different Cell Types?
Cell size can vary widely among different cell types. For example, erythrocytes (red blood cells) are typically around 6-8 micrometers in diameter, while neurons can have axons that stretch for over a meter in length. Oocytes (egg cells) are among the largest cells in the human body, with a diameter of about 100 micrometers. The size of a cell is often related to its specific function and metabolic demands.
