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)

Name the five cardiac cycle activities starting with excitation and ending with regulation of blood flow and volume.
stira [4]

Answer:

Explanation:

1) Excitation brings about contraction.

2) Contraction leads to an increase in blood pressure.

3) Changes in blood pressure results in the opening and closing of the heart valves.

4) The opening and closing of heart valves then regulates the flow of blood and it's volume.

At what temperature does all molecular motion stop?
Over [174]

Answer:

Absolute Zero

Explanation:

It is based on molecular motion, with the temperature of 0K, also known as absolute zero, being the point where all molecular motion ceases. The freezing point of water on the Kelvin scale is 273.15K, while the boiling point is 373.15K

It wouldn't be 0 degrees C or 0 degrees F because the temp of the molecular motion stop in Celsius is -273.15 degrees and in Fahrenheit it would be -459.67 degrees.

I hope this helps :)
