What are special connection between nerve cells and human cells?
Human cells also include human nerve cell. The connections are from the nerve cell to the other cells by way of extensions called dendrites.
Cytoplasmic extensions of neurons that act as an antennae for the reception of nerve impulses from what other nerve cells?
Cytoplasmic extensions of neurons that act as an antennae for the reception of nerve impulses from other nerve cells are called dendrites. Dendrites receive signals from other neurons and transmit these signals to the cell body of the neuron.
Axons terminate in a series of fine extensions known as?
Axon terminals, also known as synaptic boutons or end bulbs, are the fine extensions at the end of an axon that transmit signals to other neurons or effector cells. These terminals contain neurotransmitters that are released into the synaptic cleft to communicate with the target cell.
True or false fine hairlike extensions on the exposed or free surfaces of some cells are called microvilli?
True. Microvilli are fine hairlike extensions on the surface of some cells that increase the cell's surface area for absorption and secretion.
What is the part of nerve cells that pick up messages?
The part of nerve cells that pick up messages are called dendrites. Dendrites are branch-like extensions from the cell body that receive signals from other neurons and transmit them towards the cell body.

How do nerve cells differ from other types of cells in the body?
Nerve cells, also known as neurons, differ from other cells in the body because they are specialized for transmitting electrical signals and communication within the nervous system. Unlike most cells, nerve cells have long extensions called axons and dendrites that allow them to send and receive signals from other neurons. Additionally, nerve cells have a unique ability to generate and propagate action potentials, which are electrical impulses that allow for rapid communication between cells.
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.
What is the definition of dendriates?
Any of the various branched protoplasmic extensions of a nerve cell that conducts impulses from adjacent cells inward toward the cell body.
What are nerves composed of?
Nerves are composed of nerve cells; the long connecting parts of the nerve cells are called axons. The biochemistry of nerve cells is similar to that of other cells, but they do have an insulating layer, the myelin sheath, which gives them a relatively high concentration of fat.
Do nerve cells and blood cells the same shape?
No - they have very different shapes in order to perform their specific functions. Nerve cells are long with branched 'dendrites' at the end. There are many different blood cells, one of which - red blood cells - are almost circular with an indent in the middle.
How is the shape of the cells suited to the function?
A nerve cells long extensions reach out in various directions to enable them to receive and transmit impulses. And dead Skin Cells flat shape enables them to cover the surface of the body well.
