It has the longest name of any dinosaur, or any reptile. Neometanematobothrioides periorbitalis Yamaguti, 1970 - family Didymozoidae. A parasitic fluke that affects the greater amberjack, and can reach 8 cm in size. [61] [62] Paeniglutamicibacter psychrophenolicus (Margesin et al., 2004) Busse 2016 - family Micrococcaceae.
The Human Cell Atlas project, which started in 2016, had as one of its goals to "catalog all cell types (for example, immune cells or brain cells) and sub-types in the human body". [13] By 2018, the Human Cell Atlas description based the project on the assumption that "our characterization of the hundreds of types and subtypes of cells in the ...
A male can only make a few hundred such cells during its lifetime. The other members of the genus Drosophila also make very few, giant sperm cells, with D. bifurca 's being the longest. The sperm cells are produced in testes 6.7 cm long, which comprise 11% of the male's body mass.

[5] Cytoplasmic domains are interconnected by cytoplasmic "bridges" that are supported by microtubules. [5] The peripheral cytoplasm (whose membrane is overlaid by the cell wall) is only about 40 nm thick. [5]
