Answer for USA, Canada and countries running a 60 Hz supply service.
The neutral, by definition, carries the unbalanced load back to the source of power. The neutral carries the unbalanced load, meaning the amps on one leg that are greater than the amps on any other leg, back to the generator or transformer that supplies power to the whole configuration.
(Just a point of education) That means that when we have a 2 wire circuit with one hot black wire and one white wire we call the neutral, the white wire is not technically a neutral. There is no unbalanced load in a simple 2 wire circuit. The white wire is technically the "grounded conductor"; the black is technically the "ungrounded conductor". This is important because the code makes the distinction. So understanding this principle is necessary to understanding the code.
An example of a four wire unbalanced wye system is a commercial 480v 3 phase oven with associated lights, timer, and clock. The 3 phase oven operates very efficiently without a neutral. But very often, any associated lights, timer, and clock run on 277 volts supplied by just one leg of the 3 phase system. This creates the unbalanced load. The only amps on the neutral in this scenario are the amps used by the lights, timer, and clock.
You cannot safely supply this appliance without a neutral. This is a hypothetical scenario that is intended to help you understand the circuitry.

As always, if you are in doubt about what to do, the best advice anyone should give you is to call a licensed electrician to advise what work is needed.
Before you do any work yourself,
on electrical circuits, equipment or appliances,
always use a test meter to ensure the circuit is, in fact, de-energized.

neuroglia
The peripheral nervous system contains mixed nerves (both sensory and motor) that the musculoskeletal needs to function.
One important function that stream pools serve are as an aquatic ecosystem habitat. They are also use for the juvenile fish.
This question is similar to "How does linear motion function? With the exception of the planetary system, first it must be driven by power. When driven and no load applied to it, then its just an object in motion. In other words a motion without load or work whether it be rotation or linear motion does not serve a function.

As with most animals, the function of the integumentary system is to serve as a protection barrier. It also produces necessary vitamin D and produces pigment to protect from the sun's harmful rays.

In a single-phase circuit like a house fed from 4-wire three phase in the street, the current flows in the live and neutral wires. The neutral currents from a street of houses are expected to cancel each other so that the overall current in the neutral leaving the transformer is small.
