I need a second opinion on this please.?

Question

Differentiate between nerve and neuron.

Answer 1

Nerve:

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.

# any bundle of nerve fibers running to various organs and tissues of the body
# heart: the courage to carry on; "he kept fighting on pure spunk"; "you haven't got the heart for baseball"
# boldness: impudent aggressiveness; "I couldn't believe her boldness"; "he had the effrontery to question my honesty"
# steel: get ready for something difficult or unpleasant

# A nerve is an enclosed, cable-like bundle of nerve fibers or axons, which includes the glia that ensheath the axons in myelin. Neurons are sometimes called nerve cells, though this term is technically imprecise since many neurons do not form nerves. Nerves are part of the peripheral nervous system. Afferent nerves convey sensory signals to the brain, for example from skin or organs, while efferent nerves conduct stimulatory signals from the brain to the muscles and glands.


Neuron:

Neurons are the nerve cells which make up the central nervous system. They consist of a nucleus, a single axon which conveys electrical signals to other neurons and a host of dendrites which deliver incoming signals.

# A unique type of cell found in the brain and body that is specialized to process and transmit information.

# A type of cell that receives and sends messages from the body to the brain and back to the body. The messages are sent by a weak electrical current. Also called a nerve cell.

Answer 2

A neuron is a nerve cell, just one cell, whereas a nerve is a group of neurons attached together.

Answer 3

a neuron is singular. one interneuron, or one sensory neuron or one motor neuron.
a nerve is** more then one neuron, they're groups of neurons.

sorry, messed up my wording a little.
