It is extended to run from different different parts of the body to the central nervous system has extensions and strand communicate with nerve cells muscles and glands covered in a fatty sheath forinsulation to speed up the nerve impulse

32
Q

What are the adaptations for muscle cells?

A

Contains filaments of proteins that slide over each other to cause muscle contraction contain well developed mitochondria to provide energy for muscle contraction
