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.
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.
What nervous system cells act as phagocytes within the central nervous system?
neuroblasts
The peripherral nervous system has sensory nerve cells and motor nerve cells?
Yes, the peripheral nervous system consists of sensory nerve cells that transmit sensory information from the body to the central nervous system, and motor nerve cells that transmit signals from the central nervous system to the muscles and glands to elicit a response.
What are the organs othe nervous system?
The organs of the nervous system are the brain the spinal cord and the peripheral nerves. The cells of the nervous system are the neurons.
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 cells are involved in most nervous system tumors?
the cells involved in most nervous system tumors are called

What forms myelin sheath?
The glial cells: oligodendrocytes for central nervous system and schwann cells for peripheral nervous system.

What statement accurately compares cells in the human circulatory system to cells in the human nervas system?
Cells in the human circulatory system are responsible for the transportation of oxygen, nutrients, and waste products throughout the body via blood, while cells in the human nervous system transmit electrical impulses to enable communication between different parts of the body. Both systems play crucial roles in maintaining homeostasis and overall function of the body, but they differ in their primary function and mechanism of communication.
What nervous system cells act as phagocytes within the central nervous system?
neuroblasts
How are the nervous system and the endocrine systems different?
The endocrine system affects cells with certain receptors . The nervous system can affect only nearby cells
