They actually broke down the number of cells by organs and cell types, going through the literature available to come up with a detailed list of volumes and densities in everything from intestines to knees.

What Are Aid and Attendance Benefits? Aid and Attendance is a benefit paid by Veterans Affairs (VA) to veterans, veteran spouses or surviving spouses. It is paid in addition to a veteran's basic pension. The benefit may not be paid without eligibility to a VA basic pension.
Soldiers with service-connected disabilities may be eligible for Federal income tax exclusions of Veterans' benefits and disability pension payments. Military retirement pay based on age or length of service is taxable and must be included as income for Federal income taxes.
