Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A nerve is a group of axons bundled together, which are responsible for carrying electrical signals (action potentials) from one part of the body to another. The axons may come from a variety of neurons, both afferent (sensory) and efferent (motor), and may be myelinated or unmyelinated depending on the type of nerve. A nerve also typically contains a layer of connective tissue called the epineurium, which helps protect and support the axons.
