What is the difference between veins and nerves?

There is a big difference, both structural and functional between the veins and the nerves.Structural differences:1. The nerves are composed of nerve cells called NEURONS. A neuron is composed of the body which has NUCLEUS inside, long extension branch called AXON (which is surrounded by MYELIN in some nerves), short extension branches called DENDRITES and SYNAPTIC TERMINAL.2. A vein is a tubular organ composed of 3 layers:a) tunica externa (epithelial cells)b) tunica media (smooth muscle cells)c) tunica interna (endothelial cells)Functional differences1. The nerves function is to carry information from the receptor (f.e. skin) to the brain and from the brain to the effector (f.e. striated muscle). This is called reflexive arch.2. The definition about a vein is: a blood vessel that transports blood to the heart.Both arteries and veins are types of nerves


Do you have nerves in your heart?

Yes, but not somatic nerves. Instead the heart is enervated by the autonomic nervous system (used mainly to speed up and/or slow down the heart rate). There is also an internal set of nerves (referred to as Perkingi fibers) that are used to synchronize the beats of the heart.

What is the function of the ventral nerve cord in an earthworm?

The ventral nerve cord makes up nearly all of the nervous system in the earthworm. It goes from the anterior (front) end to the posterior (back) end. It's function is simple; it's the nerves in the worm! If dissected, the nerve cord looks like a thin white line on the ventral (belly) side on the inside of the skin.


What are ventral nerves?

Ventral nerves are nerves that emerge from the spinal cord on the ventral side (front) of the body. They carry motor commands from the brain to muscles and organs, controlling movement and functions such as respiration and digestion.
