Can the power of anime help us learn more about our body? Surprisingly, yes! Are there any other shows that do the same? Also, please protect the platelets.
in the show it hints in a joke that the main charter red blood cell is a red blood cell with the disease sickle cell witch can make it hard for them to navigate and there I a hint in her hair to it is the cowlick it looks like a sickle cell, sorry I just wanted to help you can look it up if you don't trust me
Just a few corrections: 1. Cancer cells do hide themselves by pretending to be healthy cells. 2. The dendritic cell of the immune system is a completely different thing from the "arms" of a neuron cell of the nervous system, called dendrites. 3. While the body in this anime does get a different ailment every episode and it makes it seem like it's bad health, every day a normal body kills thousands of cancer cells and even more bacteria and viruses. So those dozens of cancer cells or viruses is nothing.
h4unt3dg71tch cells are always dividing and a cancer cell is basically a “wonky product” when that happens the body uses his own regulation mechanisms and eliminates them before they can even think of being a problem :)
There’s a lot of background info that goes unmentioned but is also pretty accurate. RBC’s jacket changing color depending on whether she’s transporting O2 or CO2, Pneumococcus hiding inside RBC’s box (RL Pneumococcus use RBCs to avoid detection by immune system), the hyper-aggressiveness of Neutrophils (IRL, neutrophils are so aggressive the body has to recycle them often so that they don’t attack itself), etc.
Fire puppies I think making them more like insatiable vampires would be better. They are immortal, but only so long as they have food. They are doomed to die one way or another... ...unless they become laboratory cells, like the ones from Henrietta Laks. Hers have basically won the lottery, and will live forever.
I wouldn't say that; children get cancer all the time, is it their fault that they have it then? There are more reasons for why someone would get it than just "you put the wrong things in your body, and now your body is fighting against you". I would hate for a child to hear that and think them being sick is their fault. That may be the idea Eastern cultures have of cancer there, but it isn't necessarily correct. Like for instance, someone having lung cancer but them not having smoked a day in their life, but maybe they have friends and family that smoke. Is that their fault then that they got sick in that case? Of course not.
Last time I checked, it's not an innocent's fault for getting blasted by radiation and getting cancer from it. You know, like almost every person who was a victim of nuclear disasters and got cancer from it
+Trinity Archuleta To be more strictly accurate everyone gets cancer all the time estimates suggest that copying errors produce around 1,000 new cancer cells a day (That's almost 1 every minute). However of those almost all will be completely eliminated by the immune system but just occasionally one will be aggressive enough to manage to survive being eliminated completely and grow to become a small cluster of cancer cells kept in check by but not completely eliminated by the immune system because it proliferates about as fast as cells get killed. Of course the latter are in essence in an evolutionary arms race with the adaptive immune system and as such while they are under control and may well be kept in check for the rest of the hosts life just occasionally the cancer will win the evolutionary lottery before the host dies from some other cause. Odds are that all of us have at least some of the latter abnormal cell clusters in our bodies just that the vast majority of us wont live long enough for them to evolve to be a real threat.
Actually, the apartment represents a group of cells. Cells cant really move out of their spot, so they stay in one place. Each room within the apartment represents a cell, and the walls, roof, and floor of that apartment represent the cell membrane. Theres more to it in the cancer episodes.
@@Omega3131 He's saying they're the cell's MEMBRANE. Imagine if everything but your skin was made of fluids and a nucleus. You'd make a distinction between the fluid and your skin, because without the skin, all the fluid wouldn't take any particular shape, and you'd just be a lifeless puddle. Same thing with the normal cells.
The whole thanking everyone for hard hord actually stem from actual Japanese customs. Its normal for people in Japan to thank anyone who work hard. So yeah.
Fun fact: Cancer cells are our cells that stopped listening to the signals given out by the body. That is why often tumors and growths as the cell keeps growing until it is affected in some way.
Speaking of cancer cell... Actually, the time they do succeed and grow to become problematic is when the body is convinced that they are not harmful (either by acting like normal cells that NK cells cannot detect, suppressing the immune response, etc.) so that depiction is pretty accurate.
Scientists have uncovered how tumor cells in aggressive uterine cancer can switch disguises and spread so quickly to other parts of the body. In a study published in Neoplasia, researchers at the Washington University School of Medicine created a map showing which genes were “switched on and off in different parts of the tumor, providing a “signature” of these switches throughout the genome. The researchers say their findings support the idea that cancer cells suffer from an “identity crisis” - they switch off certain genes specific to the tissue they came from - helping them fit in more easily in different tissues, spreading the cancer. Switching these genes back on, they say, could lead to effective treatments.” So yeah your wrong
The body in cells at work is way healthier than mine and I dont drink, smoke, am not obese, and Im not stressed either. I envy this bodyyyyyyy But the one at Cells at Work Black, is horrible
To even say so the anime is scary... this body got so many problems within a week to even say that platelets have a life time of like 5 days and none of them have died yet.
According to the manga, the blood cells are divided by its power, or their expectentation. The anime cut off some of the parts. The lead red blood cell became a red blood cell because it looked worthless of other abilities... LOL
The apartments are just for normal cells, e.g. skin cells, brain cells, etc. It's shown in the manga that other cells like red blood cells brought nutrients to them like delivery agents. It's also where they replicate themselves.
The whole "cooks making smaller foods from big foods digested in the stomach" is how they represented the way the body spreads nutrients from what it consumes throughout the body. I think
So, who's your favorite cell? I love White Blood Cell! HE IS SUPER BADASS, but also a sweetheart. Great video! And, you're right, this damn body has been through some shizz.
Pretty much every time he says “in Cells At Work” I heard “incels at work” which would be a completely different video entirely. I hate that the internet ruined this video for me.
Watch Dr. Hope's Sick Notes does a great job of reviewing some of the series. I highly recommend watching his videos on Cells at Work. Great anime and great video :)
I dont know if I missed it or its not being mentioned in the video. hope there are more significant white blood cell types that starred in this series being introduced in the video: B Cell, Memory Cell, Monocyte, Basophil, Mast Cell, Memory T Cell and Regulator T Cell. pretty great work!
@@khatunamezvrishvili6211 well yeah it's been over a year since i commented this, I'm already aware now there's actually gonna be a cells at work black I'M SO GLAD ONE WISH HAS COME TRUE
4:50 No, no, no. The tree represents a dendritic cell, which is a part of the adaptive immune system. It's has nothing to do with neurons. 11:51 Believe it or not, almost every incident in Cells at Work are -with the exception of the massive trauma at the end of the series- rather ordinary health problems and had relatively mild symptoms. It's just the scale the tale is being told from is making the incidents look huge, and they are, to the cells.
One thing that I found super interesting that I saw someone else talking about was that, you see the little hair crescent sticking off of the main blood cell we follow? People have theorized this is because she is a "sickle" cell. These are mishapen/mutated red blood cells that are likely to cause blood clots due to their odd shapes and sharp edges. Which is here represented by her getting lost, and generally having a difficult time making a smooth trip through the body.
not sure if i’m right but my problem with that theory is that, if your body has sickle cells, ALL your blood cells are that shape aren’t they? it’s not a mutation that happens to everyone...?
@@ucanttrustme22 No, in some cases only a small percentage of blood cells end up being sickle. Interestingly, the sickle cells provide protection from malaria.
I love this video! I’m a medical fanatic and I always wanted to know how accurate this awesome anime is, and now I have the answer! This is a amazing video and super educational, good job guys! 💕💕💕💕
You can pass a bio quiz after this anime. I’m in an intro college bio class and we’re doing cells right now and because of cells at work, I actually know what’s going on.
Bethanie Low It’s accurate with some artistic liberties. I mean like in the first episode, no white blood cells aren’t little men with knives that kill monsters, but they are one of the protectors of the cell, they just instead eat viruses. Likewise the virus of the first episode is somewhat atomically correct and what I enjoyed most is that while the capsule isn’t a net that the virus can shoot or use as a shield per day, it’s still s protective outer layer that deters the white blood cell from being able to eliminate it. And that’s just the very tip of the iceberg!! The show takes actual science and makes a fun little twist!!
It's amazing how there's a reason Red Blood Cell gets lost so much. You know her ahoge? It's shaped liked a sickle cell, a cell that flows poorly through blood streams. In short, all cells are getting representation in this show.
The “dendrite” in the anime is a dendritic cells and it has nothing to do with the nervous system. It is a part of the immune system and its main function is presenting antigens to activate the adaptive immune system. It is not a neuron at all. Just looks a bit similar.
I think because cancer cells are irregular cells that didn't ask to be well... like that. Thats why the anime made them look sympathetic because they are hunted just for being born. In reality everybody do have cancer cells but its just not active

Well, Cancer cells in kanji/ Chinese (癌) have a special explanation: if you do not be careful about what you consume or how much you consume, once it is stockpiled in the body, a disease will form. That's cancer. In other words, it is us that brought cancer to our own body. From the cell view, they want us to sympathise with Cancer because he doesn't even know how and why he exist there and was "fated" to be a disease and be like that. Morally saying that cancer is a form of karma to our health caring. We hate cancer but we brought cancer to ourselves. So who's to blame, them or us?
Loved this! And the intellectual jokes. I have always thought Cells did an excellent job and think they should let it be reading material in biology classes.
I really enjoy cells at work just fun adventures with some learning in it i thought you may mention that red blood cell might be a sickle cell because her curl looks like a sickle.
0:56 The cells that live in apartments are just regular body cells that comprise the basic structure of the body, if you were curious. In other words, they're endothelial cells. We have yet to see the apartment of a muscle cell...
Fun fact: The red blood cell uniform's jacket is reversible: one side is bright red, the other is dark red. These represent an oxygenated blood cell and a deoxygenated blood cell respectively.
Perhaps 3:26 the factory workers are likely the small intestines’ assimilation team, so likely the stomach represents the raw materials incoming from the host body. It’s a ponder to wonder what the whole digestive tract would be like (even taking into account the spinoff Hataraku Saikin, aka Microbiome at Work).
It's because of this show that I learns that there are different types of White Blood Cells like Neutrophils Macrophages, Killer T-Cells, and NK Cells.
I feel like the representation of the kitchen in the stomach is the body processing/extracting nutrients from the food and the lava pit just there there to digest everything else. That's my take on it. I'm no doctor :)
I believe those apartment rooms represents normal cells itself. Cuz when we see them in their home they have this weird glass coffine of some sort where they make copies fo themselves.
This show helped me pass science class for the first half of the semester without even reading the textbook. Thanks Cells at Work, I studied without studying.
I believe the kitchen is intended to be the enterocytes which are the cells that take in your food first after the stomach has broken it down. These cells are in the small intestine and the red blood cells take up the waste from those cells (nutrients) for processing in the liver before systemic distribution to other tissues. As my biochem teacher always yells "you do not own your enterocytes" because they are always changed out and almost act independently from the body, we just happen to benefit from them.
the blood transfusion idea sounds awesome. it would also be interesting to see blood donation where they have to say good bye to some of their friends or something like that
My roommate actually genuinely watched Cells at Work to pass her biology tests/exam. She’s in college to become a pharmacy technician. She passed the course (she did more studying then just watching the anime but still lol)
I’m fairly certain that the apartments are the actual representation of the cells (cause generally speaking the ‘normal’ cells in our bodies stay in place) while the people wearing the shirts saying ‘cell’ are likely just personifications of the apartments (they are to the apartments as the hetalia characters are to the countries/land masses they represent). The reason for using non-humans to represent the generic cells is because unlike the red blood cells etc the generic cells dont actually move about but since this is an anime and the main plots are driven by interpersonal interactions amongst all cells (and also saving the civilians trope) the creator had to find a way to allow the generic cells some sort of existence that didn’t amount to simply being buildings and so the use of personifications But that’s just my theory
Otaku Gunsoおたく軍曹 not really but i know about them (scales, qualities, prize figure, exclusive, limited, nendoroid, figma, etc, and most of the conpanies.)
3:57 which begs the question of what neutrophilic myelocyte kindergarten is like... :'D you know, with the rubber knives and all... :'DDD _(where they're soaked in bleach and learn to become crazy ninja cops? xDDD)_
well that half moon of her hair that sticks is refference to the sickle bloodcell, which is a type of blood cell that travels poorly through the body, due to it's shape, so it makes a lot of sense that she's constantly getting lost
The liver is like a red district cafe. Hepatocytes are beauties other cells lust after and they serve them drinks of ADH and ALDH, which release and break down Acetaldehyde. Though too much Acetaldehyde in the Liver can lead to liver failure, causing the Hepatocytes to become sick. There are also the Kupffer cells, macrophages in sinusoids, and resembling topless exotic dancers in Cells at Work. The Kupffer cell's job in cells at work is to entertain the cells by dancing and wiggling their tits about as the Hepatocytes serve drinks. Kupffer cells also devour cells who have died so the resources are not wasted, which is actually their primary function.
Well the little tiny things of food represent nutrients. And all the apartments (as seen in several episodes such as, briefly in episode 1, the influenza episode, and mainly in the common cold episode) for the most part, house common cells. There, they work on division (creating copies of themselves (mainly seen in the common cold episode)).
Can the power of anime help us learn more about our body? Surprisingly, yes! Are there any other shows that do the same?
Also, please protect the platelets.

I really enjoy cells at work just fun adventures with some learning in it
i thought you may mention that red blood cell might be a sickle cell because her curl looks like a sickle.
There makeing the proteins to feed the body and cells in the kitchen
0:56
The cells that live in apartments are just regular body cells that comprise the basic structure of the body, if you were curious. In other words, they're endothelial cells. We have yet to see the apartment of a muscle cell...
Fun fact: The red blood cell uniform's jacket is reversible: one side is bright red, the other is dark red. These represent an oxygenated blood cell and a deoxygenated blood cell respectively.
Perhaps 3:26 the factory workers are likely the small intestines’ assimilation team, so likely the stomach represents the raw materials incoming from the host body. It’s a ponder to wonder what the whole digestive tract would be like (even taking into account the spinoff Hataraku Saikin, aka Microbiome at Work).
* sees the thumbnail*
me:*laugh for 10 mins*
btw i love this videos content
it tells me most things i dont know
It's because of this show that I learns that there are different types of White Blood Cells like Neutrophils Macrophages, Killer T-Cells, and NK Cells.
I feel like the representation of the kitchen in the stomach is the body processing/extracting nutrients from the food and the lava pit just there there to digest everything else. That's my take on it. I'm no doctor :)
i love the tiny platelets
You've gotta watch season 2 of this as well as "cells at work: code black" it is about when the body isn't so cared for.
You forgot Once upon a Time...Life from the 80s that shows was awesome!!!
Once upon a time body is scarily accurate
I believe those apartment rooms represents normal cells itself. Cuz when we see them in their home they have this weird glass coffine of some sort where they make copies fo themselves.
I wish we had anime characters inside us instead of cells
This is the first time I've ever fallen in love with a red blood cell
And here I was skipping this suggestion saying “nah.” Maybe I should look into this anime.
Maybe the kitchen represents all the nutrients our body can make on it's own.?
This show helped me pass science class for the first half of the semester without even reading the textbook. Thanks Cells at Work, I studied without studying.
Where was this in my biology class? If Hetalia made learning about history fun, then this should have the same effect.
Funny thing is, I did pass a bio quiz after the show
I honestly think of my body as one thats from the anime...
I take great care of it now :)
The kitchen is how our body transforms food into stuff we can eat. It's an awesome metaphor!
"Imagine if they get blood transferred"
That's literally the plot of the Season's Ending
I believe the kitchen is intended to be the enterocytes which are the cells that take in your food first after the stomach has broken it down. These cells are in the small intestine and the red blood cells take up the waste from those cells (nutrients) for processing in the liver before systemic distribution to other tissues. As my biochem teacher always yells "you do not own your enterocytes" because they are always changed out and almost act independently from the body, we just happen to benefit from them.
Fun fact: You can tell that the Main Red blood cell, is a Sickle cell from the antenna from the top of her head.
Thanatos explain?
its not an antenna its an Ahoge
Thats just the typical hairstyle of a klutzy character in Anime
The kitchen is representative of your body converting the food you eat the the energy for your cells, hence the kitchen preparing “food” for the cells
Get In The FUCKING Robot, Shinji!
the blood transfusion idea sounds awesome. it would also be interesting to see blood donation where they have to say good bye to some of their friends or something like that
I think that was the last episode of the season
They receive a blood transfusion in the one something something shock part 2
*talking of platelets* "...Important for healing..."
Me: VERY important for healing
My roommate actually genuinely watched Cells at Work to pass her biology tests/exam. She’s in college to become a pharmacy technician. She passed the course (she did more studying then just watching the anime but still lol)
*“Child labor what now?”* Me:💀
I’m fairly certain that the apartments are the actual representation of the cells (cause generally speaking the ‘normal’ cells in our bodies stay in place) while the people wearing the shirts saying ‘cell’ are likely just personifications of the apartments (they are to the apartments as the hetalia characters are to the countries/land masses they represent). The reason for using non-humans to represent the generic cells is because unlike the red blood cells etc the generic cells dont actually move about but since this is an anime and the main plots are driven by interpersonal interactions amongst all cells (and also saving the civilians trope) the creator had to find a way to allow the generic cells some sort of existence that didn’t amount to simply being buildings and so the use of personifications
But that’s just my theory
and now you know the nosebleed trope is really just the purge for cells at work
7:27-7:37 The macrophage attacc, but she also protecc as well.
if you think of those baguette sandwiches as macronutrients being spread throughout the body it makes a bit of sense.
When will they release 1/8 scale figure of white blood cell??? They already have the nendroids of him and platelet I think but we need more xD
1/8 scale? a neutrophil is only 12-17 µm, if its 15 µm in diameter and the figure is 24 cm in height, the scale would be 1/16000.
you don't collect figures do you?
Otaku Gunsoおたく軍曹 It's a joke
Otaku Gunsoおたく軍曹
not really but i know about them (scales, qualities, prize figure, exclusive, limited, nendoroid, figma, etc, and most of the conpanies.)
Yea, they're bound to show up eventually xD
3:57 which begs the question of what neutrophilic myelocyte kindergarten is like... :'D
you know, with the rubber knives and all... :'DDD
_(where they're soaked in bleach and learn to become crazy ninja cops? xDDD)_
well that half moon of her hair that sticks is refference to the sickle bloodcell, which is a type of blood cell that travels poorly through the body, due to it's shape, so it makes a lot of sense that she's constantly getting lost
Blood transfusion, hahahah, he had no idea what was coming
ive seen this anime lately on netflix and i love this anime
Agreed!!
The kitchen is probably the liver, they process all the food from the intestines into cell-manageable sizes
The liver is like a red district cafe. Hepatocytes are beauties other cells lust after and they serve them drinks of ADH and ALDH, which release and break down Acetaldehyde. Though too much Acetaldehyde in the Liver can lead to liver failure, causing the Hepatocytes to become sick. There are also the Kupffer cells, macrophages in sinusoids, and resembling topless exotic dancers in Cells at Work. The Kupffer cell's job in cells at work is to entertain the cells by dancing and wiggling their tits about as the Hepatocytes serve drinks. Kupffer cells also devour cells who have died so the resources are not wasted, which is actually their primary function.
It's funny that you mention the transfusion because that was the latest episode.
The food part; In our body, we break down the food into much simpler chemical structure like protein strain so the food inside the anime is that
I DON'T KNOW WHY BUT I LAUGHED UNCONTROLLABLY WHEN MACROPHAGE CAME UP LIKE OMG I DEAD
Well the little tiny things of food represent nutrients. And all the apartments (as seen in several episodes such as, briefly in episode 1, the influenza episode, and mainly in the common cold episode) for the most part, house common cells. There, they work on division (creating copies of themselves (mainly seen in the common cold episode)).
I did not know that Travis worked as a last name ... my reality has been shattered
Believe it though
what the heck he just predicted episode 13 of cells at work about blood transfusion
