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.
