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.

Most nerve cells do not divide in adulthood, with few exceptions such as olfactory neurons and certain neurons in the hippocampus. The majority of nerve cells are post-mitotic, meaning they lose their ability to undergo cell division after development.

Nerve cells don't divide due to an absence of tubulin protein in the nerve cell. The nerve cell's connections are critical for thought and memory. To divide they'd have to lose the connections.

If they could divide, they would divide by mitosis.

What cells will not continue to divide skin cell nerve cell epithelial cells lining the cheeks all of these?

Nerve cells typically do not continue to divide once they are fully formed. Unlike skin cells and epithelial cells that undergo continuous division for repair and maintenance, nerve cells have limited regenerative capacity. Once nerve cells are damaged or lost, they are not easily replaced, which contributes to the challenges of nerve regeneration in the body.


When nerve cells in the nervous system cease to divide they are in what stage?

When nerve cells in the nervous system cease to divide, they are in the G0 stage of the cell cycle. This is a quiescent phase where the cells are not actively dividing but are still functioning.


Which of these cells is likely to NOT continue to divide?

Nerve cells (neurons) are not likely to continue to divide. Once they become mature, neurons usually do not undergo cell division.


Which of these cells is likely to NOT continue to divide A Skin cell B nerve cell C epithelial cells lining the cheek or D all of these?

B Nerve cell is the least likely to continue dividing as most nerve cells are mature and do not undergo cell division once they have differentiated to perform their specific function. On the other hand, skin cells, epithelial cells lining the cheek, and many other types of cells continue to undergo mitosis to replace damaged or lost cells.


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.
