Cell

Your body is made up of tiny building blocks called cells. Cells are the basic structural and functional units of all living organisms, forming tissues and organs. They are responsible for essential processes such as producing energy, supporting growth, and repairing damage.

Human cells can either be:

• Somatic cells: which are non-reproductive, diploid cells such as muscle cells, skin cells, nerve cells.
• Germ cells: which are reproductive, haploid cells such as sperm and eggs.
