The cell is the fundamental unit of all life. Life in its simplest form is a single cell. In its most elegant form (arguably), the human body is composed of billions of cells. Whether an organism is composed of one cell or billions there are certain common functions that must be done, metabolism and reproduction just to name two. From an anatomy and physiology viewpoint understanding the cell and its functions is key to understanding normal and disease conditions.

 

 

This module will cover the basics of animal cell structure and cell somatic division.
