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.
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.
Neuron is another name for a nerve cell.
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.
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.
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.
Nerve cell, muscle cell, bone marrow cell.

is that are series pf specialised that are used for neuron functionality
The only one of the 220 different types of Human Cells that is not specialized is the Stem Cell.
turn you on.
yes, in that it has no plasticity.
A nerve cell is the structural and functional unit of a nerve
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.
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
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.
