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
A cordlike bundle of nerve fibers (axons and/or dendrites) and its associated connective tissue coursing together outside the central nervous system
{i} any bundle of fibers belonging to the nervous system that transmits sensations and messages between the brain and other parts of the body; tendon (Anatomy); vein in a leaf or insect wing; courage; daring; rude boldness (Informal)

Nerves provide sensory, motor, and automatic functions The arm and hand are served by the ulnar, median, and radial nerves Sensory feedback from the fingers affects the ability to grasp and manipulate items When this sensory function is impaired, from cold or nerve compression, our hands become clumsy and manipulations become difficult The nerves are a common site for CTDs Nerve disorders can also be brought on by mechanical pressure This pressure can be applied by badly designed tools or leaning against heard work surfaces
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 ski, joints, muscles, and inner organs; or efferent - leading away from the brain and mediating contractions of muscles or organs
