Which animal cell is adapted for its function by having a long axon?
A
Nerve cell
B
Sperm cell
C
White blood cell
D
Ciliated cell
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The features of neurons help them to carry out their function efficiently: they have a long fibre (axon ) so they can carry messages up and down the body over long distances. in a stimulated neuron, an electrical nerve impulse passes along the axon.

Detailed explanation-2: -Neurons have specialize cell parts called dendrites and axons. Dendrites bring electrical signals to the cell body and axons take information away from the cell body. Neurons communicate with each other through an electrochemical process.

Detailed explanation-3: -The longest axons of the human body are those that make up the sciatic nerve where the length can exceed one meter. Furthermore, compared to projecting neurons, interneurons usually have smaller soma, fewer organelles, and a reduced amount of cytoplasm (axoplasm).
