  A heart muscle cell. They keep contracting all day every day for your whole life. They don’t even need to be connected to your brain to keep your heart beating.

  Interesting question! I would say a brain cell (neuron). Neurons in the brain gather and transmit tones of electrochemical signals to pass on information from/to the brain to/from the rest of the body or even store memory.

  Wow, I’ve never thought about this. I would be a white blood cell, fighting all the bad guys in our body

  Excellent question! I’m going to be asking all my scientist friends this when I next see them!
  
  I think I would have to be an epithelial cell. These are the most abundant cell type in the human body and line pretty much all of the cavities in the body– making sure all the structures stay together as well as providing a safety barrier against damage!
