Why can the peripheral nervous system heal but the central nervous system can't?
the schwann cells (supportive cells) in the peripheral nervous system allow the neurons to regenerate, while the supportive cells in the central nervous system (oligodendrocytes and astrocytes) prevent neuron regeneration.
The cells that transmit nerve impluses in the nervous system are?
The cells that transmit nerve impluses in the nervous system are neurons.
What are groups of nerve cells that control the nervous system?
Central Nervous System
What nervous system cells act as phagocytes within the central nervous system?
neuroblasts
How does the herpes virus that causes cold sores infect host cells differently than a cold virus would infect host cells?
The herpes that causes cold sores remains in the nervous system and is reactivated from time to time. The sore reappears at this time. A cold virus doesn't act this way in the nervous system. Once a person has a cold, that person makes enough antibodies so that the virus doesn't cause a cold again in that person.
HIV initially infects cells of the nervous system.?
HIV, the human immuno-deficiency virus, does not infect nerve cells, it infects white blood cells. (false)
What kind of cell does HIV infect?
HIV infects cells in the central nervous system and the immune system. HIV's main target cell is the T helper lymphocyte. These cells play a crucial role in the immune system, by coordinating the actions of other immune system cells. A large reduction in the number of T helper cells seriously weakens the immune system3
What kind of cells are found in the nervous system?
The nervous system is made of these kinds of cells... -smooth muscle cells -nerve cells
What the peripheral system do?
Peripheral System is a division of the Nervous System. They have 2 types of cells. The sensory nervous cells carry information to the central nervous system; and the motor nervous cells carry information from the central nervous system. The Peripheral System is also divided into the somatic nervous system (controls the voluntary muscles) and the automatic nervous system (controls involuntary muscles).

What forms myelin sheath?
The glial cells: oligodendrocytes for central nervous system and schwann cells for peripheral nervous system.
What nervous system cells act as phagocytes within the central nervous system?
neuroblasts
What statement accurately compares cells in the human circulatory system to cells in the human nervas system?
3.cells in the nervous system are different in structure from cells in the circulatory system and they carry out different specialized functions
