What is the 3 main parts of nerve cells?
The three basic parts of a nerve cell are the dendrites, cell body, and axon. The dendrites branch to reach other cells. The cell body contains the nucleus which controls the cell. The axon is long and provides "reach" for the cell.
What is the cell body of the nerve cell?
An axon is the long extension of a nerve cell body. The dendrites are the short branches.
What is a specialization of a nerve cell?
Nerve cells have dendrites at the end. They have a long Cytoplasm to transmit nerve impulses for long distances.
The characteristic of a nerve cell that relates directly to its function in receiving and transmitting nerve impulses is its what?
The characteristic of a nerve cell that relates directly to its function in receiving and transmitting nerve impulses is its king extensions. Cells are limited in size by the rate at which substances needed by the cell can enter the cell through the surface.
What is the definition for non-reproductive cell?
A non-reproductive cell is a long nerve cell that does not reproduce because it is highly specialized.

What is the cell body of the nerve cell?
An axon is the long extension of a nerve cell body. The dendrites are the short branches.
What is the longest branch of a nerve cell that relays messages to other neurons?
axon
What cell is very long and has branches?
A nerve cell, or neuron, is long and branching.
What is a specialization of a nerve cell?
Nerve cells have dendrites at the end. They have a long Cytoplasm to transmit nerve impulses for long distances.
The nerve cell what shape is the nerve cell?
its like a long, thin tail with a fanning spike of nerves at the end.
What is the special features of nerve cell?
Nerve cells have dendrites at the end. They have a long Cytoplasm to transmit nerve impulses for long distances.
What is the special features of a nerve cell?
Nerve cells have dendrites at the end. They have a long Cytoplasm to transmit nerve impulses for long distances.
Axon is what?
An axon (or axone) is a nerve fibre which is a long, slender projection of a nerve cell, which conducts nerve impulses away from the body of the cell to a synapse.
The characteristic of a nerve cell that relates directly to its function in receiving and transmitting nerve impulses is its what?
The characteristic of a nerve cell that relates directly to its function in receiving and transmitting nerve impulses is its king extensions. Cells are limited in size by the rate at which substances needed by the cell can enter the cell through the surface.
What is the long thin extension of the cell body of a neuron which is the conductor of nerve impulses?
An axon is the long extension of a nerve cell body. The dendrites are the short branches.
What is the relationship between a neurone and a nerve?
neuron = cell body + dendrites + axons nerve = axon + schwann cells (peripheral nervous system only) equivalent term of nerve in the central nervous system is called tracts neuron is a type of cell nerve is an anatomical term
