one or more bundles of signal-carrying fibers that connect the brain and the spinal cord with other parts of the body.
A motor nerve is a collection of fibres that convey impulses between the anterior horn cell (which is itself under the influence of pathways coming down the spinal cord from the brain) and muscle. A sensory nerve conveys impulses (messages) from the peripheral skin, back to the spinal cord (from which they are then sent through the spinal cord up to the appropriate regions of the brain that process incoming sensory information).
A bundle of fibres which transmits electrical impulses.
nervus from G. neuron = a fibre, sinew (N.B. Hippocrates and other early anatomists called all fibres "neurons", not distinguishing sinews from peripheral nerves; later Aristotle used term to describe a nerve in the modern sense); cf. neuron, cf. aponeurosis.
A cordlike structure made up of nerve fibers that conducts impulses to and from the CNS and other parts of the body.
A bundle of neurons, or nerve cells. More properly, it is a bundle of axons.
String-like tissue that carries messages to and away from the brain and spinal cord and tells muscles to move
A structure consisting of many neuronal axons and connective tissue.
Nerves are the "wiring" of the body. They carry the signals are sent to and from the brain. Nerves go to the muscles, tendons, ligaments, joints, skin and other organs. Signals of input such as pain, temperature, and position sense are transmitted to the brain through the nerves as are the brain's instructions to the muscles and internal organs.
a bundle of nerve fibers in the peripheral nervous system held together with connective tissue.
Bundle of nerve fibers, grouped together like a cord and visible to the naked eye. The nerve fibers are covered by a membrane. The nerves and the membrane are part of the nerve.
Tissue that conveys sensation, temperature and other information to the brain.
any bundle of nerve fibers running to various organs and tissues of the body
a bundle of axons and/or dendrites in the PNS
a bundle of neuron processes conduct to and from the CNS
a cell which is microscopic in size, and its fibers may run several feet in length toward its destination
a conducting channel for electrochemical impulses
a cord-like bundle of fibres through which sensation and motor impulses pass between the brain and the body
a cordlike organ consisting of parallel bundles of peripheral axons enclosed by connective tissue wrappings
a cord-like substance that has tracts like wires in a telephone line
a structure that carries messages about pain, temperature, and touch between the skin and the brain.
fibers or bundles of fibers which form the neural system that conveys impulses and sensations between the brain, the spinal cord and all the parts of the body.
Latin nervus = tendon; later reserved for a peripheral bundle of fibres which conduct impulses from or to the central nervous system.
A band of impulse-carrying fibers that carries messages or signals to and from the brain.
A bundle of peripheral nerve fibers bound together into one or more fascicles by connective tissue.
A bundle of nerve fibers outside the central nervous system that connect the brain and spinal cord with other parts of the body. They carry all sensation from the body to the brain and motor impulses from the brain to the muscles and glands of the body.
The cord like structures, comprised of nerve cells, that transmit impulses between the central nervous system and other parts of the body. Nerves are classified as sensory, motor or mixed nerves. Sensory nerves send signals from specialised receptor cells located around the body to the central nervous system for processing. Motor nerves carry signals from the central nervous system which cause muscular contractions that produce movement at a joint. Mixed nerves, as the name suggests, are comprised of both sensory and motor nerves.
This is cord like structure with fibers which carry messages (such as pain, touch, etc.) from the tooth to the brain.
In the PNS, a collection of axons.
Transmitters of feeling and movement from body to brain.
A bundle of nerve fibers (axons). The fibers are either afferent - leading toward the brain and serving in the perception of sensory stimuli of the skin, joints, muscles, and inner organs; or efferent - leading away from the brain and mediating contractions of muscles or organs.
A bundle of neurons or nerve cells outside the central nervous system.
A whitish cordlike structure composed of one or more bundles of myelinated or unlyelinated fibers, or more often mixtures of both coursing outside of the central nervous system, together with connective tissue within the fascicle and around the neurolemma of individual fibers.
A bundle of fibers that transmit electrical messages between the brain and areas of the body; these messages convey sensory or motor function information.
tissue is fibrous bundles of 'cords' of tissue along which sensory stimulus and motor impulses travel. But it can also appear as a pulp-like matter such as within bone or in a tooth.
a cordlike structure composed of fibers that conduct impulses between the central nervous system and other part of the body. A nerve cell is a neuron, or cell that conducts neural impulses.
bundle of neurons through which signals are passed to and from the brain
Any of the cordlike bundles of fibers made up of neurons through which sensory stimuli and motor impulses pass between the brain or other parts of the central nervous system and the eyes, glands, muscles, and other parts of the body. Nerves form a network of pathways for conducting information throughout the body.
A fibre that conducts nerve impulses
cells in the human body that are the building blocks of the nervous system (the system that records and transmits information chemically and electrically within a person). Nerve cells, or neurons, are made up of a nerve cell body and various extensions from the cell body that receive and transmit impulses from and to other nerves and muscles. Nerve tissue in the breast makes breasts sensitive to touch, allowing the baby's sucking to stimulate the let-down or milk-ejection reflex and milk production.
An organ of the nervous system composed of a bundle of neuron axons invested and surrounded by connective tissue and blood vessels, which functions in the conduction of an impulse from one area of the body to another.
Tissue that conveys sensation, temperature, position information to the brain
a thin piece of tissue that sends information through the body to and from the brain
a bundle of axons that conveys information to or from the central nervous system. (67)
A ‘cable’ carrying electrical signals to or from the brain
A bundle of fibers that receives and sends messages between the body and the brain. The messages are sent by chemical and electrical changes in the cells that make up the nerves.
A bundle of neurons responsible for the conduction of electrical impulses in the body.
A bundle of neurons bound together by a protective sheath of connective tissue.
A cordlike bundle of nerve fibers (axons and/or dendrites) and its associated connective tissue coursing together outside the central nervous system.
A band of tissue that carries messages or signals to and from the brain. In people with shingles or post-herpetic neuralgia, some of the nerves in the area of shingles are damaged, resulting in the sensation of pain.
A bundle of fibres that uses electrical and chemical signals to transmit sensory and motor information from one part of the body to another.
One or more fibers or bundles of fibers which form a part of a system in the body that conveys impulses of sensation, motion, etc., between the spinal cord or brain and other body parts.
Process bundle (S) Nerve cord (S) Nerve bundles (S) A bundle of thin neuronal processes running in parallel, connecting different ganglia, sensory endings, synaptic neuropil, and/or regions of motor output. In the nematode there are generally no glial-like wrappings (no myelin) associated with a nerve, but virtually all nerves in the bodywall are closely associated with hypodermis and the hypodermal basal lamina. Nerves in the pharynx seem to run independent of any epithelia, often lying within a groove established by the muscles. Most major nerves in the nematode run longitudinally and are interconnected via circumferential commissures.
A nerve is a bundle of fibers that uses electrical and chemical signals to transmit sensory and motor information from one body part to another. See nervous system.
A bundle of elongated axons belonging to hundreds or thousands of neurons, possibly both afferent and efferent neurons. Connects portions of the nervous system to other portions and to receptors and effectors. See also axon, neuron.
The nerve is made up of the nerve cell body and the axon. The dendrite sends messages to other neurons and sends them to the nerve cell body. The axon is the "wire" from the nerve cell by which messages are sent. Also called a neuron. Groups of axons traveling through the body are also called nerves. The major nerve in the leg, for example is the sciatic nerve.
