How does the unique structure of the nerve cell help it carry out its function?

The Nerve Cell is also called a neuron, its shape and function is it has alot of surface area and is very thin so the diffusion of wastes, water, urea, and other wastes in and out of the blood can happen more easily

∙ 15y ago*Does your homework for you* 1) Most neurones are myelinated, which means they contain a myelinated sheath, which, with the nodes of ranvier (little breaks in between the 'sheath'), allow impulses to move much faster. 2) Neurones also have dendrons (little fibres around the cell body) which allow impulses to be quickly passed to the nerve cell.

Nerve cell shapes vary according to the number, branching, and disposition of their projections or dendrites, collectively known as arborization. This determines their capacity for interacting with their environment and with other nerve cells or neurons, hence their computational ability and roles.

Does a nerve cell carry messages in the body?
yes, that is their main function.
How does a nerve cell function in a human?
The function of a nerve cell is to carry messages around someones body. To adapt to their job, they're very long and are branched at each end. Nerve cells also receive, carry and pass electrical impulses through someones body.
What is unique about nerve cells?
Nerve cells can send and receive messages. Thus they can control movements and they sensory function. Some may be assigned to one or another.
What is the function of afferent neuron?
Carry nerve impulses from receptors toward the central nervous system.
What is the function of the medial nerve?
what is the function of the median nerve
What type of structure would help nerve cells carry out this function?
It helps the cell connect with other nerve cells It helps the cell connect with other nerve cells
Does a nerve cell carry messages in the body?
yes, that is their main function.
What is the name of the structure leading from the ear to the brain?
You have a nerve that carry the impulses from inner ear to brain. It is sensory nerve. It is the 8th nerve. It is called as vestibulocochlear nerve.

Is there a structure in a camera that matches the function of the optic nerve in a human eye?
That should be the shutter.
Dendrites function in the motor neuron?
To carry the nerve impulse from the CNS to the cell body

What is the function of afferent neuron?
Carry nerve impulses from receptors toward the central nervous system.
How does the structure of nerve cells help them carry messages throughout the body?
Allows for sensing, response ,and control
Is it True or False that all cells have the same structure but different functions?
False - cells can differ in structure in order to perform a specific function. For example, neurons (nerve cells) are electrically excitable. These have an axon (long section that conducts impulses, and ends which branch out - called dendrite. This is an example of a cell structure unique to a certain function.
What is the major nerve stimulating the diaphragm?
While reading " Structure and Function of the Human Body" I believe the correct answer is the phrenic nerve. Hope this helps. the nerve that stimulates is the phrenic nerve but it arises from the cervical plexus
What is the function of sacral nerve?
Autonomic nerve function in body
