Nerves
tests
"Specialized" means they have a very particular function in the body. For example, nerve cells only conduct nervous impulses, rod and cone cells only function in vision, gametes only function to pass on genetic information etc.
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.
Yes unless the trait is recessive
Capillaries are very thin blood vessels. Oxygen and nutrients and hormones can pass through the walls of the capillaries and reach the body's cells, while red blood cells remain in the capillaries.
The only cells in the human body that pass on DNA to an offspring are the reproductive cells, specifically the sperm cells in males and the egg cells in females.
Nerve cells are part of the nervous system in your body. The main role of a nerve cell is to pass information through the cells to other cells in your body to perform a function. For example, a nerve cell may transmit an electrical signal from one nerve to another in your body, and send it to the brain.
the answer is no
No. neurons are the cells in the body that pass signals. Hormones are the chemicals that pass signals.
The functions of the nerve cells is to carry messages around our body. To adapt to their job, they are very long and are branched at each end.Nerve cells receive, carry, and pass electrical impulses.Neurons (or nerve cells) are the smallest unit of the nervous system which send signals to the rest of the body to perform what ever function the brain wants it to; such as telling the heart to beat.

It reacts in these following steps: 1) A spike (the stimulus) is touched by receptors in the skin. 2) Receptors in the skin detect the stimulus and send electrical impulses down neurones to the sensory neurone. 3) The sensory neurone will pass these electrical signals to the CNS (Central Nervous System). 4) The CNS will pass these electrical signals to the motor neurone which once connected to the brain (through nervous cells reaching the carotid area of the body), the brain will detect and understand the feeling of the spike and will send this information the receptors.
No, synaptic transmission is chemical, not electrical.

capillaries
The nervous system function depends on small cells which are known as neurons. The neurons will use electric signals to pass information to each other and coordinate the nerves in the body.
