** ''Manga/CellsAtWork'' entirely revolves around a large city, representing a body, filled with workers, all representing different cells. The main characters are a [[CuteClumsyGirl clumsy Red Blood Cell]], one of the many responsible for delivering nutrients and oxygen around the body as {{courier}}s, and a [[SeekerWhiteBloodCells White Blood Cell]], who works alongside a team of ruthless assassins that target and [[{{Gorn}} (quite violently)]] kill pathogens infecting the body. We also get to see many other recurring cells, including the [[AdorablyPrecociousChild child-like Platelets]] who do reconstructions after attacks, [[LadyOfWar heavy-duty-weapons-wielding Macrophages]], and the [[MissionControl Helper T Cell]], who strategizes for a [[BadassCrew team of Killer T Cells]]. We also see horrifically accurate depictions of things like [[ParasiteZombie viruses]] and a [[LovecraftianSuperpower Cancer Cell]], who act as some of the more threatening antagonists. Each of its spinoffs also shows anthropomorphized cells:

** ''Manga/CellsAtWorkAndFriends'' is a {{Shojo}} SpinOff of ''Manga/CellsAtWork'' that maintains the character and intercellular dynamics of its source material, but it's a character-driven comedy focusing on a Killer T Cell who wants to make friends and embrace his softer side...if only his sense of duty and need to keep up his [[TestosteronePoisoning overly manly, badass reputation]] would stop getting in the way. While much less action-oriented and biology lesson-oriented than the original series, ''And Friends'' remains mostly scientifically accurate, despite some odd departures like [[ArtisticLicenseBiology showing the cell-people consuming human food rather than bacteria, glucose, or other applicable bodily chemicals]].

** ''Manga/CellsNotAtWork'' is another comedic SpinOff of ''Manga/CellsAtWork'', this time focusing on a Macrophage who attempts to raise and train a bunch of young Red Blood Cells...who are all young adults [[{{NEET}} who refuse to grow up and embrace their job as Red Blood Cells.]] In a universe where characters' very lives are defined by the purpose they serve, this is a problem. While it boasts a much narrower focus than its parent series, this manga also embraces its {{Edutainment}} label and contains a lot of accurate information about macrophages and the life cycle of red blood cells.

* The ''VideoGame/EliteBeatAgents'' level "La La" goes inside the body of a sick track runner. There, we see a white blood cell depicted as a [[HospitalHottie sexy nurse]] fighting off an army of demons (viruses) with a giant hypodermic needle. You have to dance to encourage her to succeed. [[WidgetSeries Yeah, it's one of those games.]]

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Arthur}}''

* ''Film/OsmosisJones'': The film is a [[BuddyCopShow Buddy Cop]] story that takes place inside the body of a zookeeper. Here, we see a city populated by cells, and follow CowboyCop [[SeekerWhiteBloodCells White Blood Cell]] Osmosis "Ozzy" Jones and his unwilling partner, the ByTheBookCop cold pill Drix, as they are tasked with hunting down a deadly virus.

** ''Manga/CellsAtWorkWhiteBrigade'': Much like its parent and sister series, ''White Brigade'' portrays body cells (in this case, primarily white blood cells) as humans. This series follows an immature white blood cell as he deals with his superiors and learns the ropes of his job.

** ''Manga/CellsAtWorkCodeBlack'' is an AscendedFridgeHorror [[SpinOff spin-off]] of ''Cells at Work!'' that deals with the implications of how this would appear for an unhealthy body -- years of drinking, smoking, and unsafe sex has left this body a dangerous, grimy, violent wreck. The kidney is filled with overworked slave-girls, the RBC routes are littered with the corpses of Cells who failed to complete their tasks, and [[BloodierAndGorier threats are much more violent and frequent than in the original material.]]

* One episode of ''WesternAnimation/{{Arthur}}'' opens on anthropomorphic versions of Arthur's heart, lungs, stomach, intestines, and kidneys wondering where the brain is.
