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.

Is the vagus nerve the heart rate centre of the brain?
koban [17]

Answer:

The vagus nerve has two bunches of sensory nerve cell bodies, and it connects the brain stem to the body. It allows the brain to monitor and receive information about several of the body’s different functions.

Explanation:

The vagus nerve is the longest and most complex of the 12 pairs of cranial nerves that emanate from the brain. It transmits information to or from the surface of the brain to tissues and organs elsewhere in the body.

There are multiple nervous system functions provided by the vagus nerve and its related parts. The vagus nerve functions contribute to the autonomic nervous system, which consists of the parasympathetic and sympathetic parts

The vagus nerve has a number of different functions. The four key functions of the vagus nerve are:

-Sensory: From the throat, heart, lungs, and abdomen.

-Special sensory: Provides taste sensation behind the tongue.

-Motor: Provides movement functions for the muscles in the neck responsible for swallowing and speech.

-Parasympathetic: Responsible for the digestive tract, respiration, and heart rate functioning.

The production of egg and sperm cells follows a certain sequence of events.
Maru [420]
The production of egg and sperm cells follows a certain sequence of events.

The correct order of those events are:
MEIOSIS, CELL DIFFERENTIATION, MATURE GAMETES.

Meiosis is defined as the process wherein a single cell is divided twice to produce four cells that contains half the original amount of genetic information.

Cell differentiation is defined as the process wherein the less specialized cell becomes a more specialized cell. The haploid cells are the end result of meiosis. They must undergo cell differentiation before they can become mature gametes.
