Nerve cells, or neurons, generally do not divide and regenerate in the human body. Once they are damaged or lost, they are not easily replaced. However, there are some regions in the brain where new neurons can be generated through a process called neurogenesis.

Can nerve cells reproduce and regenerate in the human body?

Nerve cells, also known as neurons, generally do not reproduce or regenerate in the human body. Once they are damaged or lost, they are not easily replaced. This is why injuries to the nervous system can have long-lasting effects.


If the left side of your brain is dead will it regenerate?

No. The brain is made of nerve cells. And the nerve cells in the brain are part of the central nervous system that does not regenerate.


What human cells divide the slowest?

The slowest dividing cells in the human body are the nerve cells. Nerve cells generate and conduct electrical impulses, allowing communication between the central nervous system and the rest of the body.


If the brain is damaged can a new nerve cell grow?

No-- Nerve cells are one of the few kinds of cells that never regenerate or regrow.


Do nerve cells divide once they have developed?

No, nerve cells do not typically divide once they have fully developed.


Human cells that do not divide?

Some human cells that do not divide include nerve cells (neurons) and cardiac muscle cells. These cells have limited or no capacity for cell division due to their specialized functions and mature state. Once these cells are fully developed, they generally do not undergo cell division.


Which type of cells do not divide?

Nerve cells, also known as neurons, do not divide.


Do the nerve cells divide?

Well, the human body contains a lot of neurons. Neurons also send signal to other neurons. so i don't think that neurons divide, but what i do know is that our neurons in the brain starts to develop during Embryonic development. i hope this help you with your question.


What is the difference between muscule cell and nerve cells?

muscle cells regenerate, nerve cells don't. That is why your muscle is only sore for a couple of days but youre paralized forever.


Why do scientists want to get mature nerve cells to divide?

Mature cells can't grow back, in other words divide or reproduce. This means that when a person gets severe burns, or brain damage, the cells won't come back and the person might be paralyzed or have no feeling in a certain area. So if it was possible for nerve cells to divide, they person wouldn't have any problems and could heal themselves.


Why do all human cells divide at the same rate throughout life?

They don't. Some grow and divide all the time (skin cells) and some never do (nerve cells) and some only at times when needed.


What are special connection between nerve cells and human cells?

Human cells also include human nerve cell. The connections are from the nerve cell to the other cells by way of extensions called dendrites.
