    Glossary Nerve Fibers

    long extensions of neurons transmitting electrical impulses

    Nerve fibers, also known as nerve filaments or neural fibers, are the long, thread-like extensions of nerve cells (neurons) that transmit electrical impulses throughout the body. These fibers are essential for communication within the nervous system, enabling sensations, movements, and various bodily functions by carrying signals between the brain, spinal cord, and other parts of the body.
