Question

Explain the different types of nerves and their role in nervous system.

Answer 1

• Sensory (Afferent) Nerves: They transmit sensory nerve impulses from receptors and various body parts towards the brain and spinal cord.
• Motor (Efferent) Nerves: They carry response commands from the central nervous system to effectors such as muscles and glands.
• Mixed Nerves: They consist of both sensory and motor nerve fibres to conduct incoming and outgoing impulses simultaneously.
