Q: Identify the type of cell which is long and branched
  • A. Columnar epithelial cell
  • B. Red blood cell
  • C. Nerve cell
  • D. White blood cell
Correct Answer: Option C - Nerve cells, or neurons, are specialized cells of the nervous system that transmit electrical impulse. They are long and have branched extensions called dendrites and axons, which allow them to communicate with other nerve cells and carry signals over long distances. This unique structure allows for extensive networking between neurons.
