What is the type of cell with a long arm - the axon?

The type of cell with a long arm called the axon is a neuron. Neurons are specialized cells in the nervous system that transmit electrical signals throughout the body. The axon is the elongated part of the neuron that carries impulses away from the cell body to communicate with other neurons, muscles, or glands. This unique structure allows for efficient and rapid signal transmission over long distances.


What is the main type of cell found in your muscle in your arm?

The main type of cell found in muscle tissue in your arm is the muscle cell, also known as a muscle fiber. These cells contain contractile proteins that allow for movement and contraction of the muscle.


What are the functions of the long arm of the chromosome?

The long arm of a chromosome carries important genetic information in the form of genes that code for various traits and characteristics. It also plays a role in regulating gene expression, chromosomal structure, and chromosome pairing during cell division. Additionally, the long arm facilitates interactions with other molecules within the cell for proper cell function.


What type of cell can be centimeters in length?

There are very few.Some neurones are upto 3m long.


What type of cell is in your brain and is shaped to send signals?

Neurons are one type of brain cell that sends and receives signals. Neurons have three parts: 1. cell body - where the nucleus is 2. axon - extends from the neuron 3. dendrites-branches that extend from the far end of the axon I like to think of it as a cell with a long arm that has branches at the end. The long arm has insulation (myelin) around it that makes it conduct signals faster than a non myelinated cell. Take two neurons whose axons extend toward each other so the dendrites are close. When the electric wave sent from the first cell reaches the dendrites at the far end, the signal, in the form of a molecule with and electric charge, moves to where the dendrite of the other neuron can catch the signal and send it on. You need at least 2 neurons to transmit a signal: one to make the signal and the other to receive it.
