What is the difference between muscle cells and nerve cells

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.

fenix001 [56]

Answer: Solubility in lipids

Explanation:

All the volatile anaesthetic agents has dose dependent respiratory depression VT and MV which may be compensated by increased respiratory rate.

The respiratory depression is more common in case of older people as they cannot compensate for the volume of air.

The solubility of the anesthesia in the lipids can be a risk which can put 85 year old women into respiratory depression.
