Explanation:
Nerve and neuron are two structural components that make up the nervous system of vertebrates. The nervous system helps animals to respond to both external and internal stimuli. The information gathered by the sensory receptors in the body are sent to the central nervous system by the neurons in the peripheral nervous system. The central nervous system is also composed of neurons. The relevant responses are sent to the effector organs with the aid of peripheral nervous system. The main difference between nerve and neuron is that a nerve is a bundle of neurons along with their connective tissue sheaths, blood vessels, and lymphatics whereas a neuron is a cell of the nervous system that conducts nerve impulses.
