The nerve cell's thin and dainty shape helps it transmit signals. Also, the "fingers" at the ends help transmit the messages to more than one other nerve cell so the message can reach either the brain or the spinal cord faster. The thin shape also helps keep the message on a straight path and keeps the message from getting confused or mixed up with other messages being transmitted so as to insure the direct and immediate receiving of all the messages.

Is a red blood cell a regular shape?
A red blood cell is a specially adapted cell to help aid maximum absorption of oxygen needed for respiration. In relation to your question, red blood cells (or RBCs) are bi-concave shaped. Their bi-concave shape aids in their absorption of oxygen by increasing the cell's surface area. RBCs are also specially adapted in the way that they have no nucleus - again to fulfil the same function.
Vitamins function in the body to?
Vitamins function in the body to aid in energy metabolism.
What helps aid diffusion and cell recognition?
glycoproteins
What is the function of cytokinins?
Cytokinins are a type of plant hormones. They are produced by the roots and carried upward through the plant. One of their functions is to aid the plant in budding.
A coiled tube which function is to aid in the maturation of spermatozoa?
Epididymis
Function of neurilemma in nerve cell regeneration?
Neurolemma is just an outer shell of the myelin sheath, it's function is to protect a myelinated cell from injury and aid in its healing from injury by allowing information to travel faster to the brain that an unmyelinated cell.

What is the function of the microfilament?
Microfilaments are thin, solid protein fibers that provide structural support for eukaryotic cells.
What is the primary function of RNA inside a cell?
One of the primary functions is to aid in synthesis of proteins.
What helps to support the plant cell and help it to maintain its shape?
The thing that helps to support the plant cell and helps it to maintain its shape is called the cell wall. The cell wall is only found on plant cells.
What are the tiny structures within the cytoplasm of a cell called?
They are called organelles. There are many different types of organelles, each of which serve their own function and aid the cell in staying alive! Hope this helps you. (:

What is the function of the palisade cell?
Palisade cells in leaves are one of many types of plant cells that contains chloroplasts to undergo photosynthesis. They are full of chloroplasts to help absorb more light. The gas they take in is carbon dioxide which helps them to make carbohydrates for the plant. The palisade cells are found in a leaf.
What is the function of the microfilament in an animal cell?
they aid basic cell movement and cell contraction as well as enabling the cell to divide
