Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The longest cells in the human body are neurons. Neurons are cells within the nervous system and carry messages throughout the body. The longest axons in the human body are those of the sciatic nerve, which run from the base of the spinal cord to the big toe of each foot.
Detailed explanation-2: -Nerve cells are usually very long and branched so that it helps in transmission of signals or electrical impulses over all parts of the body. They divide and re-divide and so cover a large surface area of the body and every portion receives the signals from the central nervous system.
