It gives off electric signal. It does not replenish itself(meaning there are limited amounts of them)

∙ 15y agoNeurons are similar to other cells in the body because: # Neurons are surrounded by a cell membrane. # Neurons have a nucleus that contains genes. # Neurons contain cytoplasm, mitochondria and other organelles. # Neurons carry out basic cellular processes such as protein synthesis and energy production. However, neurons differ from other cells in the body because: # Neurons have specialized extensions called dendrites and axons. Dendrites bring information to the cell body and axons take information away from the cell body. # Neurons communicate with each other through an electrochemical process. # Neurons contain some specialized structures (for example, synapses) and chemicals (for example, neurotransmitters).

∙ 12y agoIf you mean another eukaryotic cell of the organism, then there are many similarities as they would share many of the same organelles.
They would all have Golgi apparatus, a nucleus, mitochondria, vesicles etc.
However, nerve cells (depending on the type of nerve cell) may have an axon (myelinated/non myelinated), more mitochondria at the axon terminal for synaptic transmission, a large number of calcium ion channels and sodium/potassium ion pumps. Nerve cells have a very specialised function, so there would be many differences, but there are plenty of similarities to think of, just mention the organelles they share with tissue cells functions they both perform.
Their characteristics are determined by the selective expression or silencing of the genes that are contained in their nucleuses.

∙ 11y agowell everything is similar to other cells, especially the blood veins cells. the only difference between a normal cell and a nerve cell is that nerve cells cant regenerate themselves. So once they die, they cant be regenerated and replaced.

∙ 11y agoNerve cells differ from other cells in that they have a unique shape and an electrically excitable membrane. This allows them to receive and transmit electrical signals.
The ends of nerve cells (dendrites) resemble trees - with the ends branching out in many directions.

In what ways are nerve cells similar to other cells?
Wiki User
∙ 13y agoWell nerve cells are diffrent to other cells mainly because they are very long and thin. This is so nerve signals can travel to the brain quickly.
Hope that helps xxx =D

∙ 13y agoUnlike any other cell in the body, neurons consist of a central cell body as well as several threadlike "arms" called axons.

How can you use nerve cells in a sentence?
Nerve cells are a part of the nervous system. There are nerve cells all around the body. Without nerve cells your body would not function the way it does.
What human cells divide the slowest?
The slowest dividing cells in the human body are the nerve cells. Nerve cells generate and conduct electrical impulses, allowing communication between the central nervous system and the rest of the body.
What type of cell is the longest in the human body?
The longest cells are neurons (nerve cells) with a length of 90cm-100cm linking the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord) to other parts of the body.
What carries impulses toward the cell body?
Nerve cells carry the impulses around the body to the motor neurons. Nerve impulses are received and transmitted to the cell body by axons.
How can you use cell in a sentence?
Nerve cells are a part of the nervous system. There are nerve cells all around the body. Without nerve cells your body would not function the way it does.
How do nerve cells differ from other body cells?
Nerve Cells are capable of transmitting [relaying] bio-information.
What receives information from other nerve cells and then they send it to other nerve cells and attach to another cell body?
dendrites
Which type of nerve cells only carry impulses toward the body of the cell?
Part of nerve cells. The axon carries the impulse toward the body of other nerve cells. Part of neurons.
How are nerve cells similar to other cells in the body?
first of all they are cells second, it is in the human body third they have organnelles
What do nerve cells bring to the human body?
nerve cells brings oxgygen to the body
How can you use nerve cells in a sentence?
Nerve cells are a part of the nervous system. There are nerve cells all around the body. Without nerve cells your body would not function the way it does.
What human cells divide the slowest?
The slowest dividing cells in the human body are the nerve cells. Nerve cells generate and conduct electrical impulses, allowing communication between the central nervous system and the rest of the body.
What do motor nerve cells do?
Nerve cells are part of the nervous system in your body. The main role of a nerve cell is to pass information through the cells to other cells in your body to perform a function. For example, a nerve cell may transmit an electrical signal from one nerve to another in your body, and send it to the brain.
The longest cell in human body?
The Longest cell in the human body is the nerve cell.
Which type of cells conduct messages in a human body?
Neurons or nerve cells are highly specialized and have the ability to transmit messages at a rapid rate. Neurons are the basic working units of the brain and they convey messages to other nerve cells, muscle cells or gland cells.
What type of cell is the longest in the human body?
The longest cells are neurons (nerve cells) with a length of 90cm-100cm linking the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord) to other parts of the body.
What do the nerve cells do in the body?
they will collaped
