Cells Nerve Specialised Function Rapid Signalling.  Carry Electrical

Nerve cells are specialized for rapid signaling, transmitting electrical signals throughout the body. Their elongated structure facilitates covering greater distances, and branched connections enable networking with other nerve cells.

Nerve cells are specialized for rapid signaling, carrying electrical signals throughout the body. They are long to cover distances and have branched connections to form a network with other nerve cells.

Front What are nerve cells specialised for? What is its function? How are they specialised?
Back
  • Nerve cells are specialised for rapid signalling. 
  • The function of nerve cells is to carry electrical signals from one part of the body to another.
  • These cells are long to cover more distance and have branched connections at their ends to connect to other nerve cells and form a network throughout the body.
