Question

How is a nerve cell's structure adapted to its function?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Nerve cells are called neurons . They are adapted to carry electrical impulses from one place to another. ... the axon is insulated by a fatty (myelin) sheath - the fatty sheath increases the speed of the nerve impulses along the neuron.

Answer 2

Dendrites to attach to axons so information can be passed along.
Long axons to pass on the electrical signal to other nerves.
Myelin sheaths to insulate the signal.
Neurotransmitters to diffuse across the synapse to induce a signal in another nerve or in an effector muscle or gland.
