Why are some cells brain cells and others skin cells when the DNA is the same?

All body cells have the same DNA. They all play different roles because the brain sends them signals to do so. You can't have them all doing the same thing. Ex: If you only have skin cells, then what cells will make up your heart or liver or bones?

Why do you think that injuries to the skin generally heal faster than injuries to the brain?
injuries to the skin heal faster than injuries in the brain because of cell division. When your skin cuts it heals faster then when something happens to your brain because your skin cells wear out quickly, so they need to be replaced often. That's why it is faster to heal than injuries to the brain :)
