the cell membrane is where all the nerves are stored then when the body is ready the nucleas realeases the nerve to the cytoplasm and that takes it into the body

First, I'm not really sure what the question is since offerent is not a way to describe the function of a nerve. I think you mean afferent or efferent, but you should clarify if your still want an answer.

Also, the answer, well I dont know who wrote this but even someone with basic Biology from 5th grade should be asking themselves, what? The cell membrane has no "nerve storage" capasity at all. In fact all cells, including nerves (neurons), which are in fact cells themselves, have cell membranes. And the nucleus, in the simplest explanation, is where the genetic information of the cell is stored. It doesn't release anything. It is where the DNA lives, in all cells including neurons, which are cells. The cell membrane is a phospholipid bilayer that functions to keep things in or out of the cell. It gives structure to the cell and allows it to maintain an internal homeostatis.

Neurons can be classified many different ways and as with all biology, structure dictates function. If you are looking for information with regard to bipolar, multipolar or unipolar cells, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neuron. Or type into Google the specific cell type or shape you are looking for. Hope this helps and be careful about any answers you get over the internet!

Still dont get it, what the heck kind of answer was that? If you dont know dont write!
Every way possible, there is no "standard" shape - mostly because their shape is set by their function.

Every cells are shaped on the basis of their microtubules and microfilaments

Why are muscle nerve and nerve cells different shapes?

Muscle cells are elongated and cylindrical in shape to allow for contraction and movement. Nerve cells, or neurons, have a unique branched structure with dendrites and axons to transmit electrical signals over long distances in the body. These specialized shapes help muscle cells generate force and nerve cells transmit information efficiently.


How does nerve cells shape help them?

The shape of nerve cells, specifically their long, branching extensions called dendrites and axons, allows them to efficiently transmit electrical signals over long distances. Dendrites receive signals from other neurons, while axons transmit these signals to other neurons or muscle cells. This specialized shape enables nerve cells to communicate and coordinate information throughout the body.


How does the shape of a nerve help them?

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.


Which two elements are needed to help nerve cells send electrical signals?

It's Sodium and Potassium are necessary for the transmission of nerve impulses


What is the difference between root hair celll and nerve cell?

Root hair cells are plant cells that help absorb water and minerals from the soil through their long, slender projections. Nerve cells, on the other hand, are animal cells that specialize in transmitting electrical signals throughout the body to communicate and coordinate various functions. Both cell types have distinct structures and functions suited to their respective roles in plants and animals.


How do the eye see?

The eyes "don't" see colour. The "brain" sees colour, the "eyes" are just "lenses", hun. k. the eyes have two types of nerve cells. rhods and cones. Rhods help see in dim light and cones help in identifing colors and help see in bright light. these 2 cells are called photoreceptor cells. they carry this info from the eye through the optic nerve to the brain. the answer to your question, cones are nerve cells in the eye that help distinguish colors. :)


Why can stem cells be used to treat paralysis?

Stem cells have the ability to differentiate into various cell types, including nerve cells. When injected into the damaged area of the spinal cord, stem cells can help regenerate and replace lost nerve cells, potentially restoring function and alleviating paralysis. Additionally, stem cells can help reduce inflammation and provide growth factors that support tissue repair in the nervous system.


How does the shape of the nerve cell help them do their job?

it helps it do its job by how small it is to fit in your body


What chemicals released from nerve cells that play an important role in nerve cell communication?

Neurotransmitters are the chemicals released from nerve cells that play an important role in nerve cell communication. They help transmit signals across the synapse to target cells, such as other neurons or muscle cells, and are crucial for various physiological processes in the body. Examples of neurotransmitters include dopamine, serotonin, and acetylcholine.


Which nutrients maintain healthy nerve cells and red blood cells and is needed to help make DNA?

Vitamin B12


What type of structure would help nerve cells carry out this function?

A network of axons and dendrites, known as a neuronal network, allows nerve cells to communicate effectively by transmitting electrical signals. This interconnected structure enables the transmission of information throughout the nervous system.


How do nerve cells help the body?

If you didn't have nerve cells, you could bleed out quickly. One example is if there's a needle on the ground and you accidentally stepped on it, the nerve cells will transfer the pain to your brain, then you would feel it and you would take care of the damage. If you didn't have them, you wouldn't feel the pain then you'll bleed out. You don't want that to happen. That's why you have nerve cells!
