They have a long extension called an axon that is enclosed by a coating of myelin (generated by a different cell type) capable of acting much like a coaxial cable in electronics, rapidly propagating an excitation signal voltage pulse to the synapse where it is transferred chemically to another nerve cell.

What functions does the nerve cells do?

Are nerve cells?
Nerve cells are specialized cells for neuron function by bio chemical ion diffusion to transmit electrical impulses as information from neural cortices to muscles/organs for coordination of body function.
Where can you see adaptation of the nerve cells in the simple sensory receptor?
Adaptation of nerve cells in simple sensory receptors can be seen in how they respond differently to constant stimuli over time. For example, in a pressure receptor in the skin, the nerve cells may initially fire rapidly in response to pressure but then slow down as they adapt to the constant pressure stimulus.
How does alcohol affect nerve cells?
Alcohol can disrupt communication between nerve cells by affecting neurotransmitter levels and decreasing the ability of nerve cells to function properly. Chronic alcohol consumption can damage nerve cells and lead to issues with memory, cognition, and coordination.
What does specialization in cells mean?
The cell has a specific function. Nerve cells, blood cells, and root cells are all types of specialized cells.
What are the function of the nerve cells?
The nervous system contains millions of nerve cells, or neurons. Neurons are highly specialized to transmit messages from one part of the body to another.
Are the cells in an animal are all the same?
No. Cells are very specific to their tasks and are not the same. Muscle cells cannot perform the function of nerve cells, and so on.
What is the function of the nerve cells?
The functions of the nerve cells is to carry messages around our body. To adapt to their job, they are very long and are branched at each end.Nerve cells receive, carry, and pass electrical impulses.Neurons (or nerve cells) are the smallest unit of the nervous system which send signals to the rest of the body to perform what ever function the brain wants it to; such as telling the heart to beat.
