Page 20 - Miracles in Our Bodies
P. 20
A s we mentioned at
A
the beginning of the
book, our bodies are com-
posed of trillions of cells. This number should not be
overlooked. Indeed a trillion is an exceptionally large
number. Every adult human body contains about 100 tril-
lion cells. But thanks to the fact that these cells are very
small, our bodies are not of gigantic size. The example we will
give will help you to better understand how small cells are.
When a million of our body cells are gathered together, they
occupy a place no bigger than a pinpoint. Despite its
smallness, however, a cell's structure has not yet
been fully understood. Scientists are still carry-
ing out their researches on the systems
that a cell has.
