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 did a well-known pharmacologist refer to the recreational use of cocaine, crack cocaine, amphetamine, and methamphetamine as
Dimas [21]

Answer:

The answers are c)are the most reinforcing, generate the greatest immediate sensual appeal, and produce the most powerful psychological dependence.

Explanation:

Like all psychoactive substances, amphetamines affect the central nervous system and have stimulating effects (empathy, sensuality, confusion, etc.), producing an alert state along with various reactions in perception. Some individuals also report optical and auditory illusions. On many occasions this is also favored by the existence of intense visual and auditory stimuli, as happens for example at parties. However, most of these desired effects have tolerance with repeated doses of the same substances and even cross tolerance with doses of other substances. With the appearance of this tolerance other effects appear such as aggressiveness, anxiety symptoms, panic attacks, etc.

Among the medical complications related to the use of these substances, acute neurological complications, seizures and cerebrovascular diseases stand out.
