A nerve can die due to various causes more commonly due to injury , reduced blood supply etc. There are 3 types of nerves

1) Sensory

2) Motor

3) Autonomous

The function served by that nerve will be lost . For example if the sensory nerve is lost , the sensation in that part of the skin will be lost. Motor nerve, if cut , will lead to secondary atrophy of that muscle.
