The characteristic of a nerve cell that relates directly to its function in receiving and transmitting nerve impulses is its king extensions. Cells are limited in size by the rate at which substances needed by the cell can enter the cell through the surface.
Flagella. Flagellum. ( singular form )

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.

Each cell type has evolved a shape that is best related to its function. For example, the neuron in Figure below has long, thin extensions (axons and dendrites) that reach out to other nerve cells. The extensions help the neuron pass chemical and electrical messages quickly through the body.
A nerve cells long extensions reach out in various directions to enable them to receive and transmit impulses. And dead Skin Cells flat shape enables them to cover the surface of the body well.
The extensions of the neuron cell body (soma) are called dendrites. Refer to the related link below for an illustration of a neuron.

Lamelliopodia are sheet like extensions of cytoplasm. These extensions form adhesions with the cell substrate and wave gently enabling the cell to move along the substrate.
