Nerves:
Individual nerve fibres, or axons, are bundled together and kept together by connective tissue to form nerves. They transfer electrical signals, including as sensory data from the body to the brain and motor commands from the brain to muscles and glands, between the central nervous system and the body's other systems. Many body processes depend on the coordination and communication of nerves.
