An introduction to the human cell. Its contents and its functions, including the workings of DNA and mitochondria. Cell reproduction, both asexual and sex-related is described. The many types of specialized cells (210) in humans cannot be described in this readable book, but photoreceptors (light-detecting cells in the eyes) and bone maintenace cells are described as examples.
The contents of cells are shown in detail, with descriptions of the functions of each component.
