We see, we hear, we move, we talk, we eat, etc. To help us do these different things, we have many different kinds of cells. So, our cells divide, grow, and change to have different shapes and sizes so that they can do special jobs.

How is it that the shape can adapted to carry messages around the body?

Nerve cells have many adaptations to their function. The basic function of a nerve cell is to deliver a message to the next nerve cell in order to send information across the body. It has long axon that deliver an action potentially a long way.


Why are nerve cells circle?

Nerve Cells are circle because their anatomical shape reflects their physiological job. They are circle because they consist of axons, dendrites and a cell body and they carry electronic signals throughout your whole body! :]


How is a cell's shape and size related to it's function?

A cell shape is how it look, what shape it's in. While as a cells function is what it does for the plant or animal. For example a cells function could be to make proteins necessary for the body.


What does the optic nerve control?

The optic nerve is responsible for transmitting visual information from the eye to the brain. It plays a crucial role in our sense of sight by carrying signals related to color, brightness, and shape to the brain for processing.


How does the shape of a nerve cell aid in its function?

The nerve cell's thin and dainty shape helps it transmit signals. Also, the "fingers" at the ends help transmit the messages to more than one other nerve cell so the message can reach either the brain or the spinal cord faster. The thin shape also helps keep the message on a straight path and keeps the message from getting confused or mixed up with other messages being transmitted so as to insure the direct and immediate receiving of all the messages. 👍👍👍

How does the shape of a nerve help them?

Each cell type has evolved a shape that is best related to its function. For example, the neuron in Figure below has long, thin extensions (axons and dendrites) that reach out to other nerve cells. The extensions help the neuron pass chemical and electrical messages quickly through the body.


How is the shape of the cells suited to the function?

A nerve cells long extensions reach out in various directions to enable them to receive and transmit impulses. And dead Skin Cells flat shape enables them to cover the surface of the body well.

What does the auditory nerve does?

Their main function is to connect the central nervous system to the limbs and organs. It essentially serves as a communication relay going back and forth between the brain and the extremities.
