A nerve resembles a cable, composed of numerous individual neurons bundled together. Each neuron, a specialized cell for transmitting electrical and chemical signals, contributes to the nerve's overall function. The density of neurons within a nerve determines its capacity for information transfer. These nerves act as crucial communication pathways, relaying sensory information from the body to the brain and carrying motor commands from the brain to muscles and glands. Their intricate network enables complex bodily functions and responses.
