HIV, the human immuno-deficiency virus, does not infect nerve cells, it infects white blood cells. (false)
What else can I help you with?
Does HIV initially infect cells of the nervous system?
No, HIV primarily infects and targets cells of the immune system, specifically CD4 T cells. However, it can indirectly impact the nervous system by causing inflammation and affecting immune function, leading to HIV-associated neurological complications.
What infects and destroys T cells of the immune system?
HIV infects and destroys T cells of the immune system, leading to a weakened immune response and susceptibility to opportunistic infections.
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 does 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 cells are involved in most nervous system tumors?
the cells involved in most nervous system tumors are called
What are groups of nerve cells that control the nervous system?
Groups of nerve cells that control the nervous system are called nuclei in the central nervous system and ganglia in the peripheral nervous system. These clusters of nerve cells work together to regulate various functions such as movement, sensation, and organ functions.
What forms myelin sheath?
The glial cells: oligodendrocytes for central nervous system and schwann cells for peripheral nervous system.
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 nervous system cells act as phagocytes within the central nervous system?
neuroblasts
How are the nervous systems and endocrine the system different?
The endocrine system affects cells with certain receptors . The nervous system can affect only nearby cells
