In trying to understand this problem; this might be unrelated but
anyway; is the average cell size the same in the same tissue types of
different animals. What I mean is more spesifically; are the cells in a
mouses liver for instance the same overall size as the liver cells in
humans or in elephants?
Could there also be a connection with the rate of movement of the
individual muscles and the need for rapid production of ATP?

Any comments?
