No, it's a cell of the immune system. They are a subset of dendritic cells found in the epidermis, that capture antigens (with the long arms that make them look like nerves) and take them to lymph nodes to present to T cells.
Paul Langerhans (who discovered them) in 1968 actually thought they were nerve cells!

Is the longest cell the nerve cell of the giant squid?
No, the nerve cell of a giraffe is typically considered the longest cell, as it can reach up to 9 feet in length. The nerve cell of the giant squid can be long, but not as long as the nerve cell of a giraffe.
What is another name for Nerve Cells?
Neuron is another name for a nerve cell.
What does cytoplasm do in inside nerve cells?
Cytoplasm in nerve cells supports the internal structure of the cell, and is the site where various cellular processes occur, such as protein synthesis and energy production. It also helps to transport nutrients, molecules and organelles within the cell.
How is sodium pumped out of a nerve cell?
Sodium is pumped out of a nerve cell through the action of the sodium-potassium pump, which uses energy in the form of ATP to actively transport sodium ions out of the cell and potassium ions into the cell. This process helps maintain the cell's resting membrane potential and is crucial for nerve cell function.

What does the nerve cell include?

What is the difference between the red blood cell and the nerve cell?
the nerve cell is the white cell and it is white but it doesnt care as much blood as the red blood cell does that's the difference. Also, the nerve cell is the white cell and it is white but the red blood carries blood. Wait, I think the nerve cell is the white cell is white. White Cell=Nerve Cell*white. Cell=Nerve/White =;)
