Nerve cells, also known as neurons, can be some of the longest cells in the body. They can extend from the spinal cord to the tips of your toes and are designed to transmit electrical impulses over long distances.
Meiosis occurs in the reproductive cells (gametes) of the body, such as egg cells in females and sperm cells in males. It does not occur in other somatic cells of the body.
Filoplumes are also known as accessory feathers, as they are hair-like feathers that have a sensory function and are typically found near contour feathers on a bird's body.
Each egg cell released by a female pig will contain 19 chromosomes. This is because during the process of meiosis, the number of chromosomes is halved to ensure that when the egg is fertilized by a sperm cell, the resulting zygote has the correct number of chromosomes.
Millions apon millions. Too many to count.
the haploid cells or the gammet cells are also known as the reproductive cells in animals, they are also known as the sex cells
Red blood cells, also known as hemoglobin, carry oxygen around the body. The red blood cells are found in the bodies blood.
Egg cells are also known as oocytes. Egg cells and sperm cells are gametes, and they have half the number of chromosomes that are in the other cells in the body.
The nerves deliver the blood to the parts of the body, they are also known as the passageway of the blood. They delivers red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets to the parts of the body.
Red blood cells are also known as erythrocytes
Ascorbic acid is also known as Vitamin C. It is used in the body as an antioxidant that protects cells from damage. It also is used by the body to form collagen used in the healing process.
Red blood cells, also known as erythrocytes, are anucleate cells that transport oxygen to the body's cells. They contain hemoglobin, a protein that binds to oxygen in the lungs and releases it in tissues where it is needed.
No, sperm cells are not the longest cells in the human body. Nerve cells, also known as neurons, can be several feet long as they can extend from the spinal cord to different parts of the body.
Somatic cells, also known as body cells, include all cells in the body except for reproductive cells (sperm and egg cells). They make up tissues and organs and carry out specific functions in the body, such as providing structure and support, carrying out metabolic processes, and transmitting signals. Somatic cells are diploid, containing a full set of chromosomes (46 in humans).
Red blood cells, also known as erythrocytes, transport oxygen in the body. These cells contain hemoglobin, a protein that binds to oxygen in the lungs and releases it to tissues throughout the body.
Red blood cells, also known as erythrocytes, are produced in the bone marrow and their main function is to transport oxygen from the lungs to the rest of the body tissues.
Red blood cells, also known as erythrocytes, do not have a nucleus. They lose their nucleus during development in order to maximize their capacity to carry oxygen.
