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.

Is a nerve cell a specialised cell?
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.
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
What is mixed neuron?
Mixed nerve is a nerve that carry all the motor function, sensory function and the autonomic function in a single fiber. Spinal nerve is the example of the mixed nerve. Some of the Cranial nerve on the other hand is not the mixed nerve as it only has one property which is either sensory or motor function. http://www.answers.com/main/ntquery?s=spinal+nerve&gwp=13
What is the function of the nerve cells?
The functions of the nerve cells is to carry messages around our body. To adapt to their job, they are very long and are branched at each end.Nerve cells receive, carry, and pass electrical impulses.Neurons (or nerve cells) are the smallest unit of the nervous system which send signals to the rest of the body to perform what ever function the brain wants it to; such as telling the heart to beat.
How is a leaf specialised to carry out photosynthesis?
It has many chloroplasts.
Does a nerve cell carry messages in the body?
yes, that is their main function.
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

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.
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.
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
What is the function of sacral nerve?
Autonomic nerve function in body
