Detailed explanation-1: -Sensory: Connects the brain and spinal cord to your skin and allow you to feel pain and other sensations. Autonomic: Controls involuntary function (e.g., blood pressure, digestion, heart rate). Motor: Connects the brain and spinal cord to muscles to stimulate movement.
Detailed explanation-2: -Most of the nerves have both sensory and motor components. Three of the nerves are associated with the special senses of smell, vision, hearing, and equilibrium and have only sensory fibers. Five other nerves are primarily motor in function but do have some sensory fibers for proprioception.
Detailed explanation-3: -The somatic nervous system consists of both afferent (sensory) and efferent (motor) nerves [1]. It is also responsible for the reflex arc, which involves the use of interneurons to perform reflexive actions. Besides these, there are thousands of other association nerves in the body.
Detailed explanation-4: -1: Spinal nerves: Spinal nerves contain both sensory and motor axons. The cell bodies of sensory neurons are located in dorsal root ganglia.
