In what way is the nerve cell's shape unusual?
Nerve cells, or neurons, have a unique shape with long extensions called dendrites to receive signals and an axon to transmit signals over long distances. This elongated structure allows neurons to communicate rapidly with other cells in the body. Moreover, neurons also have specialized structures called synapses that facilitate communication with other neurons or target cells.
Why are the cell bodies of neurons elongated into cell processes?
1.) Take a piece of paper and draw a bunch of dots all over. Make sure some dots are far away from each other. 2.) Now imagine that each dot is the nucleus of a neuron. 3.) What structure(s) would best allow each neuron to connect with all the other neurons on the page? It wouldn't be short, stubby appendages, right? 4.) As humans evolved into subsequent species, the neurons' dendrites ("roots") grew longer and longer, with more and more "arms". This would explain the widening intellectual gap between humans and apes.
What is the name of type of cell with a long arm the axon?
The type of cell with a long arm called the axon is known as a neuron. Neurons are specialized cells in the nervous system that transmit information through electrical and chemical signals. The axon is the elongated part of the neuron that conducts impulses away from the cell body toward other neurons or target tissues.
Sensory neurons are also known as?
Afferent Neurons
What are neurons that carry information between sensory neurons and motor neurons?
Interneurons or association neurons.
Which elongated cell can conduct impulses?
A neuron is an elongated cell that can conduct impulses. Neurons have specialized structures called axons that transmit electrical signals over long distances within the body.

What is a tubelike structure of neurons?
A tubelike structure of neurons is typically referred to as a nerve or a nerve fiber, which is part of the peripheral nervous system. These structures consist of long, elongated neurons that transmit electrical signals, facilitating communication between the brain, spinal cord, and various parts of the body. In a broader context, this could also refer to the spinal cord itself, where bundled neurons run in a tubular arrangement, serving as the main pathway for information traveling between the brain and the body.
What make up nervous muscle tissue?
Muscle tissue made up of elongated muscle fibers, fibers that contract in response to stimuli. Nervous Tissue is made up of neurons and neurological cells.
Why are neurones long and have lots of branches?
Neurons are long and have many branches to efficiently transmit electrical signals over distances and to connect with multiple other neurons. The elongated structure, known as the axon, allows them to carry impulses quickly to target cells, while the branching dendrites increase the surface area for receiving signals from other neurons. This complex structure enables rapid communication and integration of information within the nervous system.

What are neurons called that detect stimuli in the skin and eye?
sensory neurons
Are neurons that relay impulses from sensory neurons to motor neurons?
Sensory Neurons
Sensory neorons and neurons are connected by-?
Sensory neurons and neurons are connected by Interneurons.
Does the starfishhave an elongated body?
no the starfish does not have a elongated body
Sensory neurons are also known as?
Afferent Neurons
