Nerve
A nerve is an enclosed, cable-like bundle of axons (the long, slender projection of a neuron). A nerve also includes the glial cells 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. Motor neurons, or nerves innervate or activate muscles groups to perform.
