Answer:

Blood cells are a lot smaller than nerve cells and have a disc-shaped structure, both great traits for moving quickly through small spaces. Their disc shape also provides them with a big surface where lots of oxygen can enter the cell.

hope it helps

Answer:

See Below

Explanation:

Nerve cells:

They have a long fiber (axon) so they can carry messages up and down the body over long distances.

The axon is insulated by a fatty (myelin) sheath, the fatty sheath increases the speed of the nerve impulses along the neuron.

Branching at ends of the cell to connect with other nerve cells.

Red Blood Cells:

They contain haemoglobin, a red protein that combines with oxygen.

No nucleus to save space for more of this protein.

They are small and flexible so they can fit through narrow blood vessels

Biconcave shape, provides a large surface area.

Thin cell membrane to let things diffuse in and out easily.

Cells differ by shape and size for their specialized purposes.

In other words, cells have different shapes because they do different things. Each cell type has its own role to play in helping our bodies to work properly, and their shapes and sizes help them carry out these roles effectively.

Size (seen in both nerve cell is long red blood cell small)

Shape (red blood cell biconcaved nerve cell again slender and long with branching)

Why is maintaining a circadian rhythm important?
dem82 [27]

Maintenance of the circadian rhythm is important because  it helps keep the body's functions running normally.
Alteration of the circadian rhythm to  a significant degree may lead to mood disorders including mild depression and seasonal affective disorder.

Abrupt shifts in routine such as shift change  or travel resulting in jet lag can alter the sleep cycle and also environmental factors such as  decrease in number of daylight hours. This can negatively impact the  secretion of melatonin which induces us to sleep which will lead to less sleep and thus irritability and mood swings.
