Cells are measure in Microns. The human ovum is typically around between 120 to 150 micro meters which is the largest cell in the human body. it is visible to the human eye under a microscope.
The immature egg, before it is stimulated by follicle stimulating hormone (FSH), is about 60 microns in diameter. Once the follicle, ovulates the ovum will begin to mature and finally reach a diameter of between 120 to 150 microns.
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.
Please write your suggestion regarding largest and smallest in the comment column.
