What's the difference between nerve and neurography?
Nerve
Definition:
(n.) One of the whitish and elastic bundles of fibers, with the accompanying tissues, which transmit nervous impulses between nerve centers and various parts of the animal body.
(n.) A sinew or a tendon.
(n.) Physical force or steadiness; muscular power and control; constitutional vigor.

Neurography
Definition:
(n.) A description of the nerves.
Example Sentences:
(1) They were studied with a battery of tests, including general medical and neurological examinations, neuropsychological tests, electroencephalography (EEG) and neurography with electromyography (EMG), and cerebral computerized tomography (CT).
