A nerve is an enclosed, cable-like bundle of axons (nerve fibers, the long and slender projections of neurons) in the peripheral nervous system. A nerve provides a common pathway for the electrochemical nerve impulses that are transmitted along each of the axons to peripheral organs.
In the central nervous system, the analogous structures are known as tracts. Neurons are sometimes called nerve cells, though this term is potentially misleading since many neurons do not form nerves, and nerves also include non-neuronal Schwann cells that coat the axons in myelin.
Each nerve is a cordlike structure that contains many axons. Within a nerve, each axon is surrounded by a layer of connective tissue called the endoneurium. The axons are bundled together into groups called fascicles, and each fascicle is wrapped in a layer of connective tissue called the perineurium. Finally, the entire nerve is wrapped in a layer of connective tissue called the epineurium.
Nerves are categorized into three groups based on the direction that signals are conducted:
David John "Dave" Franco (born June 12, 1985) is an American television and film actor who is known for his roles in the films 21 Jump Street, Charlie St. Cloud, Fright Night, Now You See Me, Warm Bodies, and Neighbors, and on the ninth season of the series Scrubs. He is the younger brother of actor James Franco.
Franco was born in Palo Alto, California, the son of Betsy Lou (née Verne), a poet, author, and editor, and Douglas Eugene "Doug" Franco (1948–2011), who met as students at Stanford University. Franco's father was of Portuguese and Swedish descent. Franco's mother is Jewish (from a family of Russian Jewish ancestry, with her parents having changed the surname from "Verovitz" to "Verne"); Dave has stated that he is "proud" to be Jewish. Franco's paternal grandmother, Marjorie (Peterson) Franco, is a published author of young adult books. Franco's maternal grandmother, Mitzie (Levine) Verne, owns the Verne Art Gallery, a prominent art gallery in Cleveland, and was an active member in the National Council of Jewish Women. Franco grew up in California with his two older brothers, Tom and James.
This is a film about taking your life apart and trying to re-stitch it after a radical change in consciousness. "Nerve" chronicles a day in the life of a transgressive English filmmaker who has caught the eye of the mainstream film world. He has been living in Poland, having been asked by an American producer to make a film. But a tragic accident has claimed the life of his girlfriend, and he suddenly wakes up to a world he doesn't recognize. Now he must travel to a nameless industrial city (Katowice) in Poland to fulfill his current obligations to the American producer. He wakes up to do a test shoot with a model, in order to pursue his ideals of what cinema should be..but also perhaps to lose himself in the sexuality of it all, especially after losing his girlfriend. All the while, the American producer becomes increasingly furious with the filmmaker's slow progress, setting up a final confrontation between him and the filmmaker. In spite of its dark theme, the film is filled with moments of ironic comedy and black humor. It also plays with the idea of a happy ending, in the same way Alfred Hitchcock played with it in "Spellbound".
