2. Which statement accurately compares

cells in the human circulatory system

to cells in the human nervous system?

(1) Cells in the circulatory system carry out

the same life function for the organism

as cells in the nervous system.

(2) Cells in the circulatory system are

identical in structure to cells in the

nervous system.

(3) Cells in the nervous system are

different in structure from cells in the

circulatory system, and they carry out

different specialized functions.

Cells in the nervous system are different in structure from cells in the circulatory system, and they carry out different specialized functions is the statement which accurately compares cells in the human circulatory system to cells in the human nervous system.

Option C

Explanation:

Cells of the circulatory system includes blood corpuscles like red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets, and plasma. Cells of nervous system include neurons, neuroglia, and supplying blood vessels.

The cells of each of the system are completely different from each other. They perform specialized functions and are totally different in shape and sizes. A neuron can be 1 meter in length as in vagus nerve. But RBCs are 7.5 micron in diameter, and a WBC is 20 micron in diameter. Platelets are even smaller. So they are structurally and functionally different.
