hermosäie
Hermosäie is the Estonian term for a nerve fiber, the elongated projection of a neuron that conducts electrical impulses along a nerve. In common usage the term describes the axon and its myelin sheath, though some definitions emphasize the axon itself and its surrounding glial coverings. A single nerve fiber transmits signals within the nervous system, linking neurons to other neurons, muscles, or glands.
Structure and variants: A nerve fiber is typically an axon surrounded by a myelin sheath in the
Function: Nerve fibers carry sensory information from the body to the central nervous system and convey motor
Clinical relevance: Damage or disease affecting nerve fibers can disrupt signal transmission, causing sensory loss, weakness,
Context and connective tissue: Nerve fibers form part of nerves that are organized with connective tissue layers—endoneurium
