What else can I help you with?
What are neural cells?
A nerve cell is the structural and functional unit of a nerve
What are the two basic functional elements of a spinal nerve?
nerve cells and spinal column
What is immature nerve cell called?
An immature nerve cell is called a neuroblast. Neuroblasts are precursor cells that will eventually mature into functional nerve cells, such as neurons or glial cells.
What is the difference between nerve cells and nerve?
a nerve tends to refer to a group of nerve cells.
Are neurons and nerve cells different name for the same thing?
True
What are the functional nerve tissues and which are support tissues?
Functional nerve tissues include neurons and glial cells, which support and protect neurons. Support tissues include connective tissue that provides structural support and blood vessels that supply nutrients and oxygen to nerve cells.
What are the General structural and functional differences between a nerve and smooth muscle cell?
The general structural and functional differences between a nerve cell and a smooth muscle cell are as follows. A nerve cell, controls the nervous system and automatic functions a smooth muscle cell is located in the smooth muscle where the nerve cell is.
Does the synapse occur between nerve cells?
I wouldn't use the word "occur" since a synapse is a structure, not an event, but yes, it is located between nerve cells, or more specifically, it is where the dendrites of two nerve cells meet.
Why is nerve cell one of two cells that cannot divide?
Nerve cells, or neurons, cannot divide because they are in a state of terminal differentiation. This means they have permanently exited the cell cycle and lost the ability to divide. Nerve cells have complex structures and functions that would be disrupted if they were to try to divide.
What is the space between nerve cells?
synapse
Why do muscle cells and nerve cells exhibit distinct functional characteristics?
Muscle cells and nerve cells exhibit distinct functional characteristics because they have different structures and perform different roles in the body. Muscle cells are specialized for contraction and movement, while nerve cells are specialized for transmitting electrical signals and communication within the nervous system. These differences in function are due to the unique proteins and organelles present in each cell type, allowing them to carry out their specific functions effectively.
What are special connection between nerve cells and human cells?
Human cells also include human nerve cell. The connections are from the nerve cell to the other cells by way of extensions called dendrites.
