Long extensions called dendrites that respond to neurotransmitters, long extensions called axons which may be wrapped in myelin sheaths and which secrete neurotransmitters, and the ability to generate a resting and an action potential.

Which cell is adapted for transmitting message?

Nerve cell


What are examples of adapted cells?

Red blood cells are adapted for oxygen transport due to their concave shape and lack of a nucleus, allowing for more space to carry oxygen. Nerve cells are adapted for rapid transmission of electrical impulses with their long axons. Muscle cells are adapted for contraction with abundant mitochondria for energy production.


How are nerve cells in the eyes different then nerve cells in the ears?

Nerve cells in the eyes, primarily photoreceptors like rods and cones, are specialized for detecting light and converting it into electrical signals for visual processing. In contrast, nerve cells in the ears, such as hair cells in the cochlea, are designed to respond to sound vibrations and transduce them into neural signals for auditory processing. Both types of nerve cells are adapted to their specific sensory functions, with distinct structures and signaling mechanisms to facilitate the perception of visual and auditory stimuli.


What Cells are adapted to perform specific functions . which terms refers to this capability?

Cells that are adapted to perform specific functions are referred to as "specialized cells." These cells exhibit unique structures and characteristics that enable them to effectively carry out particular roles in an organism, such as muscle cells for contraction, nerve cells for signal transmission, and epithelial cells for protection and absorption. This capability is known as "cell specialization" or "cell differentiation."


Are the cells that transmit sensory message called nerve cells or muscle cells?

Nerve Cells. 100% sure.

How is the peripheral nerve adapted to its role?

The peripheral nerve is the nerve that controls the limbs of the body. The peripheral nerve has adapted to it's role through myelination, where the nerves are tightly compressed and have connections to the spinal cord to control the limbs.
