How do a ureter and a nephron differ?

Answer 1

A neuron (or a NERVE CELL) is an electrically excitable cell that processes and transmits information by electrical and chemical signaling. Chemical signaling occurs via synapses, specialized connections with other cells. Neurons connect to each other to form networks. Neurons are the core components of the nervous system, which includes the brain, spinal cord, and peripheral ganglia. A number of specialized types of neurons exist: sensory neurons respond to touch, sound, light and numerous other stimuli affecting cells of the sensory organs that then send signals to the spinal cord and brain. Motor neurons receive signals from the brain and spinal cord, cause muscle contractions, and affect glands. Interneurons connect neurons to other neurons within the same region of the brain or spinal cord.

Red blood cells are the most common type of blood cell and the vertebrate organism's principal means of delivering oxygen (O2) to the body tissues via the blood flow through the circulatory system. They take up oxygen in the lungs or gills and release it while squeezing through the body's capillaries.

Answer 2

The Nephron is the basic structural and functional unit of the kidney. Its chief function is to regulate the concentration of water and soluble substances like sodium salts by filtering the blood, reabsorbing what is needed and excreting the rest as urine. Sweat glands, or sudoriferous glands, are small tubular structures of the skin that produce sweat.

Answer 3

These are two completely different structures, infact its hard to see any similaritie. A neurone is a single cell that has a long process called an axon along which it can conduct an action potential. These cells are used for rapid comunication arounf the bodt and within the CNS. A nephron is the functional unit in the kidney. At the start is has a renal corpuscle where nutrients pass, from convoluted anastamoses of blood vessels called the glomerulus, into a cup shape at the enf of the nephron tube called the Bowmans capsule. The tube of the nephron then runs of from the capsule forming the proximal convoluted tubuel, loop of henle and distal convoluted tubule before joining the collecting duct. This strucutre is surrounded by an efferent ateriole that collects the nutrients that are reabsorbed from the nephron, this is how the nephron works as a filtering unit. All the things that are not reabosrbed into the blood vessel go on to become the urine. The neurone is only a single cell whereas the nephron a made up of many many cells of different types.

Answer 4

neurones are made to transmit information but animal cells aren't
