They have a long extension called an axon that is enclosed by a coating of myelin (generated by a different cell type) capable of acting much like a coaxial cable in electronics, rapidly propagating an excitation signal voltage pulse to the synapse where it is transferred chemically to another nerve cell.

What is the function and adaptation of a nerve cell?
Nerve cells have many adaptions that make them functional. Some of these adaptions include longer axons in order to deliver action potentials a long distance. The dendrites carry the nerve impulses to the cell body. The myelin sheath increases the rate of transmission of nerve impulses.

Are nerve cells?
Nerve cells are specialized cells for neuron function by bio chemical ion diffusion to transmit electrical impulses as information from neural cortices to muscles/organs for coordination of body function.
Why do nerve cells have fine extensions?
The nerve cells have fine extensions which are usually excitable cells in the nervous system. There function is to transmit and process information.
