What else can I help you with?
Will there be a difference in the length of the nerve cells in a rat and a giraffe?
i dont think itll differ as nerve cells donot differ according to the size of the organism
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.
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
Why are nerve cells and muscle cells different shapes?
they are different shape s because they are different cells
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.
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.
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."
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?
Why don't all plant cells look the same?
By definition, all human cells are animal cells. Different cells look different from others, no matter the organism. A human nerve looks almost identical to a nerve from a chimp, but a human nerve looks nothing like a cell from a chimp's muscles.
