What is the difference between muscle cells and nerve cells

Biology
2 answers:
4vir4ik [10]3 years ago

I mean, there's plenty of differences between muscle and nerve cells. For one, they serve different functions. Nerve cells react and send stimuli rapidly through action potentials, functioning in the nervous system and allowing the brain to communicate with the rest of the body, while muscle cells allow muscles to move. Another difference is the structure of the cells, with nerve cells having dendrites, axons, and neurotransmitters to assist in the firing of action potentials. You're going to have to be a little more specific, I can't really help you any more with such a broad question.

While nerve cells are involved in the transmission of neural synapses (hence the name), myocytes contract to move the skeletal bones and move the body. Muscle cells can be smooth (visceral), cardiac, or skeletal. ... Another critical difference between nerve cells and muscular cells is their anatomy.

Cellulases are enzymes capable of breaking down cellulose, releasing molecules of glucose. to which category of organic macromol
erastovalidia [21]

Cellulose belongs to carbohydrates.  

Cellulose is classified as a carbohydrate, a polysaccharide, as they are formed of the glucose monomers chain. It is the prime component in the walls of the cells of plants, assisting the plants to remain upright and stiff. Humans cannot digest cellulose due to the absence of cellulase, however, it is essential in the diet as fiber.  

However, the animals like sheep, cows, and horses can digest cellulose that is why they can acquire nutrients and energy they require from the grass.
