Question

The image shown is an artist's drawing of a nerve cell. The overall shape and structure of a nerve cell is unlike most other types of cells. 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

I would say communication, as neurons transmits messages from one part to another part of the body

Answer 2

The correct answer is option A which is communication.

Step-by-step explanation:

Nerve cells have a different structure from other types of body cells due to a different function.

The function of the nerve cell is to communicate the nerve signals in the nervous system from the receptor to the brain and from the brain to the effector.

The nerve cell has a cell body and an extended fiber type area known as the axon.

This specific structure is suitable for the transport of nerve impulse from one end to another which is for the communication between two nerve cells.
