It is very good question. Very difficult to answer. One cubic cm of cortex content about 1000 billion synapses. Nerve cell has from few hundred to 2,000,00 synapses from input side and other side also have such large number. So one cell is connected to many such cells and nervous system contents more than 1000 billion neurons. So multiply and count the number. Current flows through them. Circuits are so complicated that, probably you never know how they travel exactly. It means there route of travel. Gross connections you know but not how individual nerve is connected to others. Through these extremely complicated circuits, you get intellectual functions like thinking, reasoning, imagination and memory. Add to it you have emotions, like love, anger, hate, sympathy, selfishness, filling of sex, hunger, thrust. You see a snake (or cockroach if you are a girl.) and heart rate doubles in 5 seconds. All these things happen through complicated current flowing through nerve fibers. That is why there are so many branches in nerve cells.
What else can I help you with?
Does the nerve cells have many connecting side branches?
Yes, nerve cells have many connecting side branches called dendrites which receive signals from other nerve cells. These signals are then transmitted through the cell body and down the axon to pass on information to other cells.
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.
Which of these cells is likely to NOT continue to divide A Skin cell B nerve cell C epithelial cells lining the cheek or D all of these?
B Nerve cell is the least likely to continue dividing as most nerve cells are mature and do not undergo cell division once they have differentiated to perform their specific function. On the other hand, skin cells, epithelial cells lining the cheek, and many other types of cells continue to undergo mitosis to replace damaged or lost cells.
What happens If a nerve cell receives many IPSPs at the same time?
the neuron will be probably be inhibited from firing.
What is the difference between a nerve cell a muscle cell a sperm cell and a leaf cell?
1) Plant cells have cell wall which is absent in animal cell. 2) Plant cell lack centrioles whereas animal cells have centrioles.

Does the nerve cells have many connecting side branches?
Yes, nerve cells have many connecting side branches called dendrites which receive signals from other nerve cells. These signals are then transmitted through the cell body and down the axon to pass on information to other cells.
What is the color of nerve cell?
nerve cell can be of many colours like green,white,brown.
How does a nerve cell get injured?
A nerve cell can be injured in many ways. One was is a direct attack on the nerve cell from an external force such as an infection. Another way is when the organism is attacked and the nerve cells are damaged during the attack.
How many lysosomes are in an elephant nerve cell?
none nerve cells dont have lysosomes.
How many main parts does a nerve cell have?
it has three
How many chromosomes are there in a rabbit nerve cell?
2
What color is the nerve cells?
nerve cell can be of many colours like green,white,brown.
What is longer than most cells and contains many nuclei.?
Nerve cell
What is the adapted of a nerve cell?
there are many adaptations of nerve cell1. They have special hairs to detect movement, allowing you to feel things.2.The Nerve Cell Is Shaped With A Sort Of Circle With Vains Sticking Out, Then I Long Vain And At The Ends There Are More Vains.
How does the chromosomes in a nerve cell differ from those in a sperm cell?
The sperm cell is haploid (has half as many chromasomes as the diploid nerve cell)The sperm cell can contain more mutations (depending on the age of the man, this is the basis of anticipation)The sperm cell's chromasome has undergone recombination (I'm assuming you know what that is)
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.
