Key Stage 3
Meaning
A nerve cell is a specialised cell in animals which transmits electrical impulses around the body.
Adaptations of Nerve Cells
- Nerve Cells have an elongated shape to send electrical signals more quickly.
- Nerve Cells have branches called dendrites to link up to other nerve cells.
About Nerve Cells
- All nervess in the body are made of nerve cells.
- Nerve cells are specially adapted to send electrical signals quickly.
- Many nerve cells grouped together make nerve tissue.
