What is the job for the nucleus in a nerve cell?
The nucleus in a nerve cell contains the cell's genetic material (DNA) and controls the cell's activities by regulating gene expression. It is responsible for directing the synthesis of proteins essential for nerve cell function and maintenance.
How do nerve cells communicate with each other to transmit signals within the body?
Nerve cells communicate with each other through electrical and chemical signals. When a nerve cell is stimulated, it sends an electrical impulse down its length. At the end of the cell, neurotransmitters are released into the synapse, a small gap between nerve cells. These neurotransmitters bind to receptors on the neighboring cell, triggering a new electrical impulse and continuing the signal transmission.
What holds the nerve cell together?
Nerve cells are held together by cell adhesion molecules, which are proteins that help anchor cells to each other and provide structural support. These molecules also play a role in cell signaling and communication between nerve cells. Additionally, nerve cells are surrounded by a protective sheath called the myelin sheath, which helps insulate the nerve cell and maintain its structure.
A human liver cell is very different in a structure and function from a nerve cell in the same person this is best explained by the fact?
A.different genes function in each type of cell
How do hydrophobic substances cross the cell membrane?
They have parenthesene and then have rape babies with each other
How does a nerve cell function in a human?
The function of a nerve cell is to carry messages around someones body. To adapt to their job, they're very long and are branched at each end. Nerve cells also receive, carry and pass electrical impulses through someones body.
Can a muscle cell split into two nerve cells?
Stem cells (that may differentiate into any cell) turn into nerve and muscle cells. Once they differentiate to the different type of it cannot switch from one type of cell to another. So, in short, the answer is "no."
What nerve cells that connect sensory and motor nerve cells?
It depends upon what you are referring to as connecting. Most nerve cells do not connect to each other, but pass their impulse from one to the other via synapses. There are also places where nerve cell bodies cluster together in the peripheral nervous system, and this is known as a ganglion. When a group of nerves come close to each other and are covered in connective tissue for protection, it is called a plexus. The nerve do not actually connect to each other, but are wrapped together.
What connects one nerve cell with another?
Nerve cells are connected by structures called synapses. These synapses allow for communication between nerve cells by transmitting signals in the form of neurotransmitters. The synaptic connection between nerve cells enables the propagation of information through the nervous system.
How does loss of nerve cells impact on the development of dimentia?
brain cells needs to communicate with each other by sending the message between cells in the form of electrical signals so if the nerve cell dies message wont reach the other cell causing dementia.
How many cell membranes are there in each cell?
There is typically one cell membrane in each cell. The cell membrane, also known as the plasma membrane, is a thin semi-permeable barrier that surrounds the cell and controls the movement of substances in and out of the cell.
How many chromosomes are in a human nerve cell?
Humans have 46 chromosomes in their nerve cells, unless they have a chromosomal disorder. With the exception of the reproductive cells, which only carry half the chromosomal DNA, all human cells have the same amount of chromosomes.
