Maybe, but in a normal case there would not be a significant number more. Certain cells like nerves, muscles, and fat cells do not multiply or multiply infrequently. In the case of muscles and fat cells the cells themselves get bigger by increasing the mass of protein(muscle) or fatty acids (fat cells) contained within the cell as they grow, but they do not divide. So a person could be significantly heavier, but have the same number of cells as someone else.
In the case of an individual with an uncontrolled tumor, they might have millions more cells than someone else because the tumor is a rapidly growing and multiply group of cells.

If you have 4000 red blood cells how many white blood cells will you have?
It varies from person-to-person - and whether the person needs more or less white cells due to injury or illness.
Why does a person need more red blood cells than white blood cells?
Red Blood cells carry oxygen to your cells while white blood cells only fight off bacteria. Theres more red blood cells becase we need more of them to live.
Are mutations more common in sperm cells or egg cells?
It depends on the age of the person. There are more mutations and defects in eggs as the woman ages. However, as men are constantly producing more sperm cells they will inevitably produce more cells that have mutations. The percentage of sperms cells that have mutations will increase as the man ages.
How many cell does a baby have?
A baby has millions of cells in his body. When he grows, more cells get added to his body. It is impossible to count the actual number of cells a person has.
Why does a tall person have a different metabolic to a short person?
It really has more to do with total body weight than with height, but unless the short person in question is much fatter than the tall person, tall people are bigger and weigh more. The more people weigh, the more cells they have in their bodies, and every cell has its own cellular metabolism, so the more cells you have, the more total metabolic activity is going on.
When a person exercises change occur in the muscle cells as they release more energy?
Yes.
Which blood cells are NOT involved in AIDS?
AIDS is a condition that is a reflection of a person's immune function and has no impact on any cells of the body. HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) is the virus that causes a person to develop AIDS. HIV attacks blood cells that are associated with immune function. Red blood cells would be an example of cells unaffected by HIV. HIV attacks immune cells because it needs them to replicate. The more the virus replicates the more new virus is introduced into the system and more white blood cells are then affected.
Can 600mg of ibuprofen for a headache be harmful?
I regularly take in excess of that for headaches with no ill effects..... you should really only take as much as you need to solve the problem because more won't make a difference.... but if you need to, I see no reason why up to 1200MG for a 150lb+ person would be harmful in any way.
Why do the bone marrow increase red blood cells when a person has hypoxia?
Hypoxia means having low oxygen, so the more red blood cells, the more oxygen can be carried by the blood.
Do skinny people have more cells than fat people?
No, the number of cells in a person's body is not directly related to their body weight or size. The number of cells is determined during development and remains relatively constant throughout adulthood. However, fat cells (adipocytes) can increase in size in response to weight gain, but do not necessarily increase in number.
Is a person prokaryot or eukaryote?
A person is a eukaryote. It is multicellur and has a nucleus containing DNA in it's cells along with other more complex organelles.
Why would someone who weighs more lose weight faster than someone who weighs less but consumes the same number of calories per day?
Because a big person has more cells, that need all together more energy to function. Therefore the energy intake for a big person, who only wants to keep tatus quo, is greater. If that person wants to loose weight and consumes less calories, then the body will burn fat, and more for this person , as the big person has more cells crying out for food...
