∙ 11y agoThe axon of some neurons can be a long, thin structure, wrapped by a myelin sheath to help it convey an impulse quickly over long distances and retain its strength (saltatory conduction).

What is A specialized that can receive and transmit signals to other cells like it called?
Neuron
What is a specialization of a nerve cell?
Nerve cells have dendrites at the end. They have a long Cytoplasm to transmit nerve impulses for long distances.
Which of the following is a way that cells can communicate with each other?
Transmit electrochemical signals, secrete substances into blood stream, ans release molecules that spread to nearby cells
What cells transmit and receive impulses?
nervous tissue.
Nervous tissue contains specialized cells called?
Neurons are the conducting cells of nerve tissue. The neurons transmit the electrical charges and chemical signals via the synapses.
What cells process and transmit most chemical signals?
Neurons
What nerve Cells transmit signals to muscle Cells?
These Types of nerve Cells are Known As Motor Neurons.
What is A specialized that can receive and transmit signals to other cells like it called?
Neuron
What are cells that are modified to transmit signals from one place to another?
Neurons are the cells that carry signals from one neuron to another neuron, a muscle, or a gland.
Nerve agents affect the way in which nerve cells transmit signals in the body this process is called?
Neurotransmission
What is a cell that can receive and transmit signals?
Actually all cells can send and receive signals. For example every cell has a CD95(FASr) which receives signals from natural killer cells or T cells and results in cell death. Also all cells send signals through cell membrane receptors to neighboring cells. These signals prevent neighboring cell colonies from growing too big.(The lack of these signals is one of the problems with certain cancer cells)
What is a specialization of a nerve cell?
Nerve cells have dendrites at the end. They have a long Cytoplasm to transmit nerve impulses for long distances.
Type of tissue that sends electrical signals through the body?
Nerve cells can transmit electrical impulses throughout the body.
What is the function of the nerve cells?
The functions of the nerve cells is to carry messages around our body. To adapt to their job, they are very long and are branched at each end.Nerve cells receive, carry, and pass electrical impulses.Neurons (or nerve cells) are the smallest unit of the nervous system which send signals to the rest of the body to perform what ever function the brain wants it to; such as telling the heart to beat.
What is the special features of nerve cell?
Nerve cells have dendrites at the end. They have a long Cytoplasm to transmit nerve impulses for long distances.

Why do you think only solar cells and not dry cells or automobile batteries are used in satellites?
the others require a medium in order to transmit and recieve the signals from outer space
