synapse
A nerve cell can be injured in many ways. One was is a direct attack on the nerve cell from an external force such as an infection. Another way is when the organism is attacked and the nerve cells are damaged during the attack.

A nerve cell is the structural and functional unit of a nerve
No, the nerve cell of a giraffe is typically considered the longest cell, as it can reach up to 9 feet in length. The nerve cell of the giant squid can be long, but not as long as the nerve cell of a giraffe.
The myelin sheath protects the information passing from one side of the nerve cell to the other. It blocks out other signals that might interfere.
an axon
No, a nerve is not a complete cell. Nerves are made up of nerve cells called neurons that consist of a cell body, dendrites, and an axon. The nerve cell works together with other cells to transmit signals throughout the body.
In a nerve cell, the nucleus is located in the cell body.
The nerve cell can be thought of as just the nerve body, which is the main part of the nerve cell. The nerve cell is also known as a neuron. The entire neuron includes an axon, nerve body, dendrites, and axon terminals.
