Question

the axon of nerve cell in hand is shorter than the axon of nerve cell in leg. Do you support this statement? why?​

Answer 1

$\huge{\underline{\underline{\mathcal\red{❥\blue{Answer}}}}}\orange{:-}$

yes, because sciatic nerve in the leg contains neural axons that extend from the spinal cord all the way to the muscles in the foot, a distance of over a 1 meter. Usually, the length of the leg is more in size than hand. Hence the axon of nerve cell in hand is shorter than the axon of nerve cell in leg.

Answer 2

In the brain or spinal cord, it is difficult to make out the difference between dendrites

But generally the sizes of the axons are not same. They may have different length. The hands are near to the spinal cord or brain than the legs. The legs are far away from the brain and spinal cord. To take and brings the information fastly, the axons of the nerve cells may have longer than the axons of the nerve cell in the hands.

The sciatic nerve is the large nerve in humans and animals. It begins in the lower back and runs through the buttock and lower limbs.

It is the largest and widest single nerve in the human body.

Function : Sciatic nerve innervates the skin on the posterior aspect of the thigh an gluteal regions as well as they enter lower legs.
