What is a specialization of a nerve cell?
Nerve cells have dendrites at the end. They have a long Cytoplasm to transmit nerve impulses for long distances.
What is the cell body of the nerve cell?
An axon is the long extension of a nerve cell body. The dendrites are the short branches.
Where is the Buccal nerve located?
The Buccal nerve is a long-running nerve in the face. It is between the second and third molars and basically runs down the cheek. It transmits feelings from the skin of the cheek and also the mouth.
How is it that the shape can adapted to carry messages around the body?
Nerve cells have many adaptations to their function. The basic function of a nerve cell is to deliver a message to the next nerve cell in order to send information across the body. It has long axon that deliver an action potentially a long way.
The characteristic of a nerve cell that relates directly to its function in receiving and transmitting nerve impulses is its what?
The characteristic of a nerve cell that relates directly to its function in receiving and transmitting nerve impulses is its long, branched structure called dendrites and axons. Dendrites receive signals from other neurons and transmit them to the cell body, while axons carry signals away from the cell body to other neurons or cells.
What is a specialization of a nerve cell?
Nerve cells have dendrites at the end. They have a long Cytoplasm to transmit nerve impulses for long distances.
What is the special features of a nerve cell?
Nerve cells have dendrites at the end. They have a long Cytoplasm to transmit nerve impulses for long distances.
What is the special features of nerve cell?
Nerve cells have dendrites at the end. They have a long Cytoplasm to transmit nerve impulses for long distances.
How long is a matured man's nerve?
The length of a matured man's nerve varies from one nerve to another, for instance, the myelinated nerve fibers in brain are about 150,000 km.
What is a long nerve fiber that carries impulses from one nerve cell to the next called?
an axon
Is the longest cell the nerve cell of the giant squid?
No, the nerve cell of a giraffe is typically considered the longest cell, as it can reach up to 9 feet in length. The nerve cell of the giant squid can be long, but not as long as the nerve cell of a giraffe.
Why are nerve cells long?
Nerve cells have to be long enough to extend from where they are located in the body, the hands and feet for example, to the spinal chord or brain. Some nerve cells in a giraffe may be ten feet long. Others may be very short.
Axon is what?
An axon (or axone) is a nerve fibre which is a long, slender projection of a nerve cell, which conducts nerve impulses away from the body of the cell to a synapse.
A long nerve fiber that carries impulses from one nerve cell to the next?
It's called an axon.
What characteristic of a nerve cell that relates directly to its function in receiving and transmitting nerve impulses is its?
long extensions
The characteristics of a nerve cell that relates directly to its function in receiving and transmitting nerve impulses is its?
its long extensions
The nerve cell what shape is the nerve cell?
its like a long, thin tail with a fanning spike of nerves at the end.
