Nerves serve as communication pathways, carrying signals between the central nervous system (the brain and spinal cord) and the rest of the body. They are made up of bundles of neuron fibers (axons) that transmit electrical impulses. Through these signals, nerves allow the body to sense the environment, control movement, and regulate internal functions.
