nerve cell
A specialized cell of the nervous system that is responsible for receiving, processing, and transmitting electrical and chemical signals. The technical term is neuron.
Das menschliche Gehirn besteht aus Milliarden von miteinander vernetzten Nervenzellen.
The human brain consists of billions of interconnected nerve cells.
The word is made up of 'Nerven' (nerves, plural of 'der Nerv') and 'die Zelle' (the cell). So it literally describes a cell that belongs to the nerves.
Eine einzelne Nervenzelle kann mit Tausenden anderen verbunden sein.
A single nerve cell can be connected to thousands of others.
'Nervenzelle' (nerve cell) is a technical term from biology and medicine. In scientific texts, the synonym 'Neuron' (neuron) is also often used.
In der Biologieprüfung mussten wir den Aufbau einer Nervenzelle zeichnen.
In the biology exam, we had to draw the structure of a nerve cell.
Common verbs used in connection with nerve cells include 'Signale weiterleiten' (to transmit signals), 'miteinander vernetzt sein' (to be interconnected), and 'absterben' (to die off).
Bestimmte Krankheiten führen dazu, dass Nervenzellen im Gehirn absterben.
Certain diseases cause nerve cells in the brain to die off.
brain cell
A Gehirnzelle is a Nervenzelle located in the brain. Nervenzelle refers to the cell type and therefore also applies to cells in other parts of the nervous system, while Gehirnzelle emphasizes the location. Use Gehirnzelle when there is a specific connection to the brain; otherwise, Nervenzelle is more precise.
Nervenzellen leiten Informationen im gesamten Nervensystem weiter.
Nerve cells transmit information throughout the nervous system.
Die Gehirnzellen verarbeiten die Informationen aus den Augen.
The brain cells process the information from the eyes.
