      An adult has around 100,000 billion in their body, all starting as just one cell, I think that is amazing!
      There are 14 different types of cells in the body each with a different job, a few are;
      Bone cells – to make our bones
      Nerve cells – to make long nerves so that we can feel when we touch things
      Muscle cells – so that we can move
      Blood cells
      Rods and Cone cells – these are at the back of our eyes and are used so we can see!
