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.

Where in the human body are the only nerves that continually regenerate?

The only nerves in the human body that continually regenerate are found in the Peripheral Nervous System (PNS). This allows for limited repair and regeneration of damaged nerves in the PNS. However, nerves in the Central Nervous System (CNS), such as those in the brain and spinal cord, do not have the same capacity for regeneration.


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.
