It is specialised by being a long thin cell that is insulated to carry electrical messages around the body. x When you hurt yourself e.g. burn yourself your immediate reaction is to get away from the heat, this is because we can sence pain due to our nerve cells which then carry an electrical message to your brain which then says to get away from the source of pain.

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.
What is another name for Nerve Cells?
Neuron is another name for a nerve cell.
How is a nerve specialised to carry out its function?
A nerve cell is called a neuron. The neuron has dendrites that receive impules from the previous neuron and send it to the cell body and an axon that transmits the impulse to the next neuron. There is a space between one cell's axon and the next cell's dendrites called a synapse. Neurotransmitters are released from the axon terminal to carry the impulse across the synapse.
What does cytoplasm do in inside nerve cells?
Cytoplasm in nerve cells supports the internal structure of the cell, and is the site where various cellular processes occur, such as protein synthesis and energy production. It also helps to transport nutrients, molecules and organelles within the cell.
How is sodium pumped out of a nerve cell?
Sodium is pumped out of a nerve cell through the action of the sodium-potassium pump, which uses energy in the form of ATP to actively transport sodium ions out of the cell and potassium ions into the cell. This process helps maintain the cell's resting membrane potential and is crucial for nerve cell function.

What is the similarities of a human nerve cell and plant guard cell?
Both human nerve cells and plant guard cells are specialized cells that have specific functions within their respective organisms. They both have membrane-bound structures that control the movement of substances in and out of the cell. Additionally, both cell types respond to external stimuli to carry out their functions.
Why is a red blood cell specialised?
its a specialised cell because its characteristics are adapted to its function. for example, the red blood cell is round and flat so it can carry oxygen efficiently
Is the longest cell the nerve cell of the giant squid?
