Proof that there are only finitely many $1$-cells that have a $0$-cell as a boundary point in a CW complex Below is a lemma from John Lee's Introduction to Smooth Manifolds. 
Suppose $M$ is a $1$-manifold endowed with a regular CW decomposition. We want to show that every $0$-cell of $M$ is a boundary point of exactly two $1$-cells. 
I cannot understand a line from the proof, namely:
It can be shown that the boundary of every $1$-cell of $M$ consists of exactly two $0$-cells. Now, suppose $v$ is a $0-$cell of $M$. Then why are there only finitely many $1$-cells that have $v$ as a boundary point? 



Okay so after reviewing the chapter I figured it out. We need to use that the CW decomposition is locally finite. Proposition 5.16 of the text states that a CW complex is locally compact if and only if it is locally finite. A manifold is locally compact, so the CW complex here is locally finite. This means that $\{\bar{e}:e \in \mathscr{E}\}$, the collection of the closures of the cells is locally finite. Hence, $v$ has a neighborhood that intersects at most finitely many closures of cells, hence so does $v$.
