What are blood cells and nerve cells called?
Blood cells are called erythrocytes (red blood cells), leukocytes (white blood cells), and thrombocytes (platelets). Nerve cells are called neurons.
Do nerve cells and blood cells the same shape?
No - they have very different shapes in order to perform their specific functions. Nerve cells are long with branched 'dendrites' at the end. There are many different blood cells, one of which - red blood cells - are almost circular with an indent in the middle.
How do nerve cells get blood and oxygen?
Nerve cells receive blood and oxygen through a network of small blood vessels called capillaries. These capillaries are located close to nerve cells in order to deliver nutrients and oxygen for their metabolic needs. The brain, for example, has a dense network of capillaries to ensure a constant supply of blood and oxygen to nerve cells.
What are the three types of cells that do not undergo mitosis?
Nerve cells, Red blood cells and cells from cornea of the eye balls.
What kind of cells are in your hand?
skin blood stem muscle nerve cells
What are some animal cells?
Cell membrane White blood cells Red blood cella Nerve cells Vacuoles Cytoplasm
What is the difference between nerve cells and white blood cells?
There is a saying that fits your question: "Form follows function". These cells are the way that they are because the shapes fit the way they work. Why are hammers different than screw drivers?
What cell structure?
They are found in the human body such as: skin cells red blood cells white blood cells sperm cells nerve cells etc. Thanks.
The process that creates specialized cells like blood cells nerve cells or bone cells is called?
differentiation
Why do nerve cells have long fibres whereas red blood cells are thin and dislike?
Nerve cells, or neurons, have long fibers called axons that facilitate the rapid transmission of electrical signals over long distances, allowing for efficient communication within the nervous system. In contrast, red blood cells are thin and disk-shaped to maximize surface area for gas exchange and to enable flexibility as they navigate through narrow blood vessels. Their design is optimized for their specific functions: neurons for signal transmission and red blood cells for oxygen transport.
What does a nerve cell and red blood cell have in common?
Both nerve cells and red blood cells are specialized cells in the body with specific functions. Nerve cells transmit electrical impulses for communication in the nervous system, while red blood cells transport oxygen to tissues. Both types of cells lack a nucleus, allowing for more space to carry out their respective functions efficiently.
How do nerve cells muscle cells and blood cells compare?
nerve cells give you your sense of touch, feel, smell, and hearing. Blood cells depends on what type of blood you are talking about white blood cells help protect your body from sickness and red blood cells carry oxygen to your lungs allowing you to breath both are essential for living
