What role does it play?

where is it located in the body?

how is this cell unique or different from genetic plant or animal cells?

what cell organelles and/or cell parts does the cell have?

Because of the unique shape neurons have, it is almost impossible to imagine them undergoing regular mitosis. Therefore, the DNA in the cell body does not produce excuse amounts of protein or start replicating organelles, thus not calling for mitosis. Skin cells always undergo mitosis because they are constantly dieing. When we touch something, we might pick up a virus that kills a couple cells, we could cut ourselves, we could scrape off a layer of skin. The body has recognized that these things happen, so skin cells have been blessed with a considerably constant and fast rate of mitosis because the genes permit it.
