The main function of a nerve cell, also known as a neuron, in a multicellular organism is to carry and transmit signals throughout the body. These signals are essential for communication between different parts of the organism, enabling coordination of various physiological processes and response to external stimuli. Nerve cells receive signals from other neurons or sensory receptors, process the information, and then transmit the signals to other neurons, muscles, or glands, allowing for the execution of specific actions or responses.
