What else can I help you with?
What is the single long thin extension of the nerve cell that ends with the terminal end bulbs are the?
The single long thin extension of a nerve cell that ends with terminal end bulbs is called an axon. The axon is responsible for transmitting electrical impulses away from the cell body to other neurons, muscles, or glands.
What is the long thin process that carries impulses away from the cell body?
The long thin process that carries impulses away from the cell body is called an axon. Axons are part of nerve cells (neurons) and transmit electrical signals to other neurons or muscle cells.
What allows nerve cells to transmit signals over long distances?
The neuron has a long, thin tube called the axon which sends an electric nerve impulse very quickly, akin to an electrical cord.
What are the stringy things on a nerve cell?
The stringy things on a nerve cell are known as dendrites and axons. Dendrites are the branching extensions that receive signals from other neurons, while the axon is a long, thin projection that transmits electrical impulses away from the cell body to other neurons or muscles. Together, these structures facilitate communication within the nervous system.
How does the shape of a nerve cell aid in its function?
The nerve cell's thin and dainty shape helps it transmit signals. Also, the "fingers" at the ends help transmit the messages to more than one other nerve cell so the message can reach either the brain or the spinal cord faster. The thin shape also helps keep the message on a straight path and keeps the message from getting confused or mixed up with other messages being transmitted so as to insure the direct and immediate receiving of all the messages. 👍👍👍
The nerve cell what shape is the nerve cell?
its like a long, thin tail with a fanning spike of nerves at the end.
What is the long thin extension of the cell body of a neuron which is the conductor of nerve impulses?
An axon is the long extension of a nerve cell body. The dendrites are the short branches.
What is the single long thin extension of the nerve cell that ends with the terminal end bulbs are the?
The single long thin extension of a nerve cell that ends with terminal end bulbs is called an axon. The axon is responsible for transmitting electrical impulses away from the cell body to other neurons, muscles, or glands.
How are nerve cell different from other cell?
Well nerve cells are diffrent to other cells mainly because they are very long and thin. This is so nerve signals can travel to the brain quickly. Hope that helps xxx =D

What part of the neuron conducts the nerve impulse?
Dendrite toward the cell body, axon away from the cell body.
What does a nerve cell look like?
The biggest and most important hing to remember is that plant and animal cells look very different from one anther. The major thing to look for when distinguishing the looks of cells is to look for a cell wall and a central vacuole.

Why do nerve cells have long fibers whereas red blood cells are thin and disklike?
Nerve cells have to be long enough to extend from where they are located in the body, the hands and feet for example, to the spinal chord or brain. Some nerve cells in a giraffe may be ten feet long. Others may be very short.
Which cell has long finger like projections with thin walls to help it absorb water?
villi finger in small intestine
