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.

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)

RideAnS [48]

The toxic condition characterized by retention of nitrogenous substances in the blood is called uremia.  Uremia is a toxic condition caused by retention in the blood of nitrogenous waste products normally excreted in the urine.  Acute renal failure denotes a sudden onset of renal failure, such as that caused by an accident, certain drugs or poison. The kidneys may recover or the damage may be permanent. If the kidneys stop functioning this condition is what they called uremia, therefore the body is full of  extra water and waste products, leading to swelling in the hands or feet, fatigue and weakness. End-stage renal disease refers to when the kidneys have lost all or nearly all function.
