Question

describe sensory, motor, and mixed nerves

Answer 1

A sensory nerve is also called as affferent nerve which carries sensory impulses or information towards the central nervous system. Nerves relay the signals to the brain, which interprets them as sight , sound , smell, taste, and touch.

The motor nerves is also called as efferent nerves which carry impulses from the brain and spinal cord to the muscles.

The Mixed nerves are composed of both motor and sensory fibers, and transmit messages in both directions at once.The Mixed nerves contain both afferent and efferent axons and thus conduct both incoming sensory information and outgoing muscle commands in the same bundle.
