Nerve cells have to be long enough to extend from where they are located in the body, the hands and feet for example, to the spinal chord or brain. Some nerve cells in a giraffe may be ten feet long. Others may be very short.

What is a specialization of a nerve cell?
Nerve cells have dendrites at the end. They have a long Cytoplasm to transmit nerve impulses for long distances.
What is the special features of a nerve cell?
Nerve cells have dendrites at the end. They have a long Cytoplasm to transmit nerve impulses for long distances.
What is the special features of nerve cell?
Nerve cells have dendrites at the end. They have a long Cytoplasm to transmit nerve impulses for long distances.
What is the longest cell?
The longest of cells are nerve cells, some are over a meter long in humans. The longest of nerve cells in any species are be found in the colossal squid, with some nerve cells estimated to be over 10 meters in length.
What is a long nerve fiber that convey electrical impulses to other cells is called a?
A long nerve fiber that conveys electrical impulses to other cells is called an axon. Axons are part of nerve cells (neurons) and are responsible for transmitting signals to other neurons, muscles, or glands. Some axons can be quite long, extending from the brain or spinal cord to distant parts of the body.
Is there any difference in the length of the nerve cells in a rat and a giraffe?
Yes, there is a difference in the length of nerve cells in a rat and a giraffe. Giraffes have much longer nerve cells due to their significantly larger body size compared to rats. The length of nerve cells is proportional to the size of the organism and the distance signals need to travel.
What is a connector nerve?
Connector nerve cells connect the sensory nerve cells with motor nerve cells and allow for decision making.
What is the difference between nerve cells and nerve?
a nerve tends to refer to a group of nerve cells.
Do nerve cells and blood cells the same shape?
No - they have very different shapes in order to perform their specific functions. Nerve cells are long with branched 'dendrites' at the end. There are many different blood cells, one of which - red blood cells - are almost circular with an indent in the middle.
What type of nerve is the optic nerve?
ganglion cells
How long does take for sciatica nerve damage to heel?
Nerve cells are different from other cells. In other cells they have a cell wall cell membrane nucleus lisozomes etc. but nerve cells dont have the information nor the ability to heal as well as normal cells do. it all depends on the extent of the damage
What are the long fiber between nerve cells?
There are two: an axon and several dendrites.
