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.

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.
A nerve cell is the structural and functional unit of a nerve
The general structural and functional differences between a nerve cell and a smooth muscle cell are as follows. A nerve cell, controls the nervous system and automatic functions a smooth muscle cell is located in the smooth muscle where the nerve cell is.

A structural adaptation of the sampaguita plant is the bright petals of the flower to attract insects. It also has cell walls on all its cells.
The cell body of a nerve cell is supported by a complex meshwork of structural proteins called neurofilaments, which are assembled into larger neurofibrils.

Chemical control center and data repository. It has nothing to do with the function of the nerve cell as part of a nerve.
This is just terminology. Neuron = 'nerve cell'
A nerve cell cannot also be called a neuroglial cell. A neuroglial cell is a cell that has a primary function of supporting neurons.
