What makes a skin cell different from a nerve cell?
A skin cell is different than a nerve cell because they do different jobs. A skin cell protects the body, regulates body temperature, and helps protect from germs trying to get into the body. The nerve cell sends out a message when your brain want to move a part of the body.Hope this helps.
How is sodium pumped out of a nerve cell?
Sodium is pumped out of a nerve cell through the action of the sodium-potassium pump, which uses energy in the form of ATP to actively transport sodium ions out of the cell and potassium ions into the cell. This process helps maintain the cell's resting membrane potential and is crucial for nerve cell function.
What is the explanation for the nucleus in a nerve cell?
Chemical control center and data repository. It has nothing to do with the function of the nerve cell as part of a nerve.
How are neuron and nerve similar in function?
This is just terminology. Neuron = 'nerve cell'
A nerve cell can also be called a(an) .?
A nerve cell cannot also be called a neuroglial cell. A neuroglial cell is a cell that has a primary function of supporting neurons.
Function of a nerve cell?
To send messaged to the brain
What type of structure would help nerve cells carry out this function?
A network of axons and dendrites, known as a neuronal network, allows nerve cells to communicate effectively by transmitting electrical signals. This interconnected structure enables the transmission of information throughout the nervous system.
The characteristic of a nerve cell that relates directly to its function in receiving and transmitting nerveimpulses it its?
The characteristic of a nerve cell that relates directly to its function in receiving and transmitting nerve impulses is its long extensions. The plasma membrane is composed mainly of a lipid bilayer.

What happens when sodium is pumped out of the cell by the sodium potassium pump?
When sodium is pumped out of the cell by the sodium-potassium pump, it helps maintain the cell's resting membrane potential by generating an electrochemical gradient. This process also helps regulate cell volume and is essential for proper nerve and muscle function.
Does a nerve cell carry messages in the body?
yes, that is their main function.
