Question

Which particular function of nerve cells is facilitated by the unique shape of the cell? A) communication B) digestion C) metabolism D) transportation

Answer 1

A) Communication- nerve cells tell your body what it's feeling

Answer 2

The right answer is A) communication.

A neuron is a nerve cell whose shape is very different from that of other cells that make up our body.

Neurons are not independent of each other. They establish links between them and form chains of neurons constituting a fantastic network.

Neurons are excitable cells that receive and transmit electrochemical signals. The dendrites and the axon transmit these signals, as do the wires of an electric circuit. The dendrites receive the signals and the axons transmit them. Each neuron can receive information from many other neurons and transmit it to a multitude of others. Approximately 250,000 links can be counted.
