No is the positive answer for this question.
Cells are the basic building blocks of tissues. All cells experience changes with aging. They become larger and are less able to divide and reproduce. Among other changes, there is an increase in pigments and fatty substances inside the cell (lipids). Many cells lose their ability to function, or they begin to function abnormally.
The typical appearance of the face and neck changes with age. Muscle tone may be lost, causing a flabby or droopy appearance. The jowls may begin to sag, leading to a "double chin" in some people. In some people the nose lengthens slightly and may look more prominent. (wrinkles)
Though nerve cells do not reproduce themselves like cancer cells do, they do change electrical states quickly and are thus particularly susceptible to the effects of chemotherapeutic drugs

∙ 15y agoEven though most textbooks state that a human nerve cell can NEVER reproduce, scientists have made a recent discovery which disproves the theory. They found out that nerve cells do reproduce, but at a very slow rate. So slow that it tricked many earlier scientists into thinking that nerve cells don't reproduce.

How does specialization in muscle and nerve cell affect their ability to reproduce?
Some cells have a greatly, or even completely, deminished ability to reproduce once they become specialized. Muscle and nerve cells are a prime example of this.
The association nerve cells relay information from sensory nerve cells to motor nerve cells?
True. A+
What does cells reproduce?
if your asking how cells reproduce they can usually reproduce asexually[all by themselves].
What are the nerve cells that react to gases?
Olfactory nerve cells
What are blood cells and nerve cells called?
red blood cells and a nerve cell.
Do your brain cells reproduce?
No. Nerve cells do not reproduce.
How does specialization in muscle and nerve cell affect their ability to reproduce?
Some cells have a greatly, or even completely, deminished ability to reproduce once they become specialized. Muscle and nerve cells are a prime example of this.
Can the nervous system repair its cables?
The nervous system is comprised of nerves called neurons, not 'cables'. Different nerve cells can reproduce to create newer nerve cells to replace damaged cells.
What is the type of adult human cell usually does not reproduce itself by mitosis?
Most Neurons, and Epithelial cells surrounding the egg.
Which cells in your body are never replaced?
Cells
Does the brain reproduce brain cells?
NO. The brain cells and other nerve cells once formed in the embryo do not divide further in the entire lifetime. Once dead they are not replace. No matter what you do even medicine wont make new ones. Nothing can remake the cells and the cells do not get cut in half to make two.
What is a connector nerve?
Connector nerve cells connect the sensory nerve cells with motor nerve cells and allow for decision making.
What is the difference between nerve cells and nerve?
a nerve tends to refer to a group of nerve cells.
The association nerve cells relay information from sensory nerve cells to motor nerve cells?
True. A+
What does cells reproduce?
if your asking how cells reproduce they can usually reproduce asexually[all by themselves].
What type of nerve is the optic nerve?
ganglion cells
What are the nerve cells that react to gases?
Olfactory nerve cells
