Document Summary

Prokaryotic cells are cells that do not contain a membrane bound nucleus. Bacterial cells are included in the category of prokaryotic cells. There are an estimated 10x as many bacterial cells in the human body than our own eukaryotic cells. These cells make up 2-3% of our body mass. Most of these cells are harmless, and are in fact important to the functioning of the body. Some of these cells are potentially harmful, but are contained or managed by our immune system to keep them under control. The term microbiome is used to describe the populations of macrobiotic organisms (microorganisms or microbes) within our bodies. Microorganisms are, by de nition, organisms that are not visible under a microscope. The microbiome includes prokaryotic bacteria, but also small eukaryotic organisms. Bacterial cells are found in nearly every part of our body; they"re in our teeth, skin, digestive system, and respiratory tract.
