The Longest Cell in the Human Body is (1)Liver Cell (2) Nerve Cell (3) Muscles Cell (4) None of these

Answer : 2) Nerve Cell

The correct answer here is Nerve cells, as they are the longest cell in our body. Some of the neurons are 1-1.5 meters long. The role of this body part is to give signals throughout our body. 

The nerve cell is the primary cell in our nervous system. Humans generally have three kinds of neurons: motor neurons, sensory neurons, and interneurons.

It mainly consists of three parts. It contains the protoplasm and nucleus. The branching structure(dendrites) provides help when it comes to transporting impulses. On the other hand, the axon extends the cell body. Its role is to transmit impulses further and grow cells.
