The nerve cell has branches that develop during cell specialisation. These branches help the nerve cell to perform which of the following functions?

1. Communication with other cells
2. Moving from one location to the other
3. Storing extra DNA
4. Exerting force on non-nervous tissue

Correct answer: Communication with other cells

Solution

Neurons have branched extensions called dendrites and axons that help them connect with other cells. This allows them to receive and transmit nerve impulses, so their main function is communication with other cells.
