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.
Is the length of nerve cell different from rat and giraffe cells?
according the size of the organisms it will a different length.
What is the difference between nerve cells and nerve?
a nerve tends to refer to a group of nerve cells.
Why are nerve cells long?
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.
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.
How many cells does a giraffe have?
they have to about 1,000,000 cells in there body
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 the difference between muscule cell and nerve cells?
muscle cells regenerate, nerve cells don't. That is why your muscle is only sore for a couple of days but youre paralized forever.
How big do cells get?
The largest cells in length are the nerve cells that run down an animal's leg and in volume an Ostrich egg is a cell.
What animal has longest nerve cell?
is it giraffe?
Nerve cell does not conduct electricity?
Actually, nerve cells do conduct electricity through the movement of ions across their cell membrane. This allows them to transmit signals, known as action potentials, along their length to communicate with other nerve cells or other cells in the body.
How are neurotransmitters different from the impulse that travel along the bodies of nerve cells?
Neurotransmitters are chemicals that transmit signals between nerve cells at synapses, while impulses refer to the electrical signals that travel along the nerve cells themselves. Neurotransmitters bridge the gap between two nerve cells, whereas impulses are the electrical messages that travel along the length of a nerve cell.
