Abraham Kierszbaum & Laura Tres, “Histology & Cell Biology”, 5th edition, 2019 was the topic of an earlier blog post.
Only Wikipedia has a list of human cells; therefore, I wrote this blog post because there is nothing elsewhere available.
The color chart BELOW is the twenty (20) groupings of cell types. This is a list by the number of cells in each group.

Here I presented: Lubert Stryer MD, “Biochemistry“, 1975 the First Edition (#1) is a printed book. This book is today available as the Ninth Edition (#9) as an e-book.
SUMMARY.
This is a a classic textbook; and, the Ninth Edition (#9) continues its popularity.
Robert Boyle, “Sceptical Chymist”, 1661 is the source of “molecule”.
Robert Hooke, “Micrographia”, 1665 coined the term “cell”.
Arthur Koestler, “Act of Creation”, 1964 contains the diagram BELOW. Chemistry is the first term, followed by Biochemistry. Both sciences have periodic tables. Chemistry has the “tabulation” of molecular elements. Biochemistry has the “tabulation” of molecular cells of man.
Lubert Stryer, “Biochemistry”, need not give “tabulations” in discussion of life. Life is changing unwritten; and, mineral elements are static and tabulations.
