Nerve cells have many adaptions that make them functional. Some of these adaptions include longer axons in order to deliver action potentials a long distance. The dendrites carry the nerve impulses to the cell body. The myelin sheath increases the rate of transmission of nerve impulses.
What else can I help you with?
Function of a nerve cell?
To send messaged to the brain
Does a nerve cell carry messages in the body?
yes, that is their main function.
The characteristic of a nerve cell that relates directly to its function in receiving and transmitting nerve impulses is its what?
The characteristic of a nerve cell that relates directly to its function in receiving and transmitting nerve impulses is its king extensions. Cells are limited in size by the rate at which substances needed by the cell can enter the cell through the surface.
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.
How does a nerve cell function in a human?
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.
What is the explanation for the nucleus in a nerve cell?
Chemical control center and data repository. It has nothing to do with the function of the nerve cell as part of a nerve.
How are neuron and nerve similar in function?
This is just terminology. Neuron = 'nerve cell'
A nerve cell can also be called a(an) .?
A nerve cell cannot also be called a neuroglial cell. A neuroglial cell is a cell that has a primary function of supporting neurons.
Function of a nerve cell?
To send messaged to the brain
What is a nerve cells adaptation to its function?
They have a long extension called an axon that is enclosed by a coating of myelin (generated by a different cell type) capable of acting much like a coaxial cable in electronics, rapidly propagating an excitation signal voltage pulse to the synapse where it is transferred chemically to another nerve cell.
The characteristic of a nerve cell that relates directly to its function in receiving and transmitting nerveimpulses it its?
The characteristic of a nerve cell that relates directly to its function in receiving and transmitting nerve impulses is its long extensions. The plasma membrane is composed mainly of a lipid bilayer.
