Why are muscle nerve and nerve cells different shapes?
Their different shapes help them to perform their various functions (jobs)
How are nerve cells adapted to their functions?
By the axons and the dendrites that help the transmition of electric signals all around the nerve system.
Examples of specialized animal cells?
Specialized animal cells are cells found in animals that perform specific functions and only those specific functions. Examples include nerve cells, muscle cells and red blood cells.
What is a nerve cells responsibility?
Its duty is conduct impulses.It helps in maintaining body functions.
What is the basic unit of structure and functions of the nervous system?
The nerve cells. They coordinate the actions of the body.
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.
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.
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.
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.
What eye functions do not work when you are blind?
either the light sensitive cells in the retina are not working or the optical nerve is damaged
Why do nerve cells and muscle cells look different?
Different cells have different appearences because they have different functions. A good rule of thumb is the "form follows function" rule.
