Micron is a unit of length, not volume.
1000 microns = 1 mm
No way to do it.

Your question makes no sense. A micron is a unit of linear measure. You cannot measure volume using units of linear measure. Hence the statement: "the volume of a cell is 1000 microns" is nonsense. You also need to specify which particular human body. The number of cells in a newborn infant compared to one of the subjects on the reality TV show "My 600 lb. Life" are going to be different by a couple of orders of magnitude.
