What else can I help you with?
What are groups of nerve cells that control the nervous system?
Groups of nerve cells that control the nervous system are called nuclei in the central nervous system and ganglia in the peripheral nervous system. These clusters of nerve cells work together to regulate various functions such as movement, sensation, and organ functions.
What is a nerve cells responsibility?
Its duty is conduct impulses.It helps in maintaining body functions.
Do nerve cells and blood cells the same shape?
No - they have very different shapes in order to perform their specific functions. Nerve cells are long with branched 'dendrites' at the end. There are many different blood cells, one of which - red blood cells - are almost circular with an indent in the middle.
What is the basic unit of structure and functions of the nervous system?
The nerve cells. They coordinate the actions of the body.
What cells are the message carriers for the animal?
In animals, nerve cells (neurons) are the primary message carriers. They transmit electrical and chemical signals throughout the body to control various functions such as movement, sensation, and cognition.
What does a nerve cell and red blood cell have in common?
Both nerve cells and red blood cells are specialized cells in the body with specific functions. Nerve cells transmit electrical impulses for communication in the nervous system, while red blood cells transport oxygen to tissues. Both types of cells lack a nucleus, allowing for more space to carry out their respective functions efficiently.
What is the function of the connective tissue wrappings found in anerve?
The connective tissue that wraps around nerve cells is there to keep them apart. It also functions to join them all together into what we call a nerve, which is really a bunch of nerve cells together.
which statement best describes why the neuron and muscle cell are different?
muscle cells and nerve cells is that muscle cells are responsible for the contraction and relaxation of muscles whereas nerve cells are responsible for the coordination of the functions of the body through the transmission of nerve impulses between the body and the central nervous system.
Which types of cells would most prefer not to have cells undergoing division?
Cells that are specialized for specific functions, such as nerve cells and muscle cells, would most prefer not to have cells undergoing division.
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.
Where do the cells in your body get energy?
Cellular respiration is right. The four functions that require energy are movement, caused by muscle cells. Making proteins or enzymes and cell division caused by all or many cells. And sending nerve impulses which is caused by nerve cells.
Why are nerve cells essential to an animal?
Nerve cells, or neurons, are essential to animals because they transmit signals throughout the body. They allow animals to respond to their environment, coordinate movement, and process information. Without nerve cells, animals would not be able to sense their surroundings or perform essential functions.
