Excerpt from The Development of the Human Body: A Manual of Human Embryology
Interpreted in the light of these results, the human body is an aggregate of myriads of cells,* of masses of protoplasm, each of which owes its origin to the division of a preexistent cell and all of which may be traced back to a single parent cell - a fertilized ovum. But all these cells are not alike, but just as in a social community one group of individuals devotes itself to the performance of one of the duties requisite to the well being of the community and another group devotes itself to the performance of another duty, so too, in the body, It has been estimated that the number of cells entering into the composition of the body of an adult human being is about twenty-six million five hundred thousand millions!
