Homonym: Nervios (Nerves)
Nervios, or nerves, refer to the bundles of fibers that transmit signals between the brain and the rest of the body. They are essential for communication within the nervous system, which controls movements, sensations, and various bodily functions. Nerves can be classified into sensory nerves, which carry information from the body to the brain, and motor nerves, which send signals from the brain to muscles.
In a broader context, the term "nervios" can also describe a state of anxiety or nervousness in individuals. This emotional response can be triggered by stress, fear, or anticipation of events, affecting mental well-being. Techniques such as mindfulness and relaxation can help manage these feelings.
