GENERAL HISTOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Spinal nerves are mixed nerves that interact directly with the spinal cord to modulate motor and sensory information from the body’s periphery.

Detailed explanation-2: -The cauda equina includes nerves that provide sensation to your lower body. Your spinal nerves send electrical signals between your brain, spinal cord and the rest of your body. These electrical nerve signals help you feel sensations (sensory nerve) and move your body (motor nerves).

Detailed explanation-3: -The spinal nerve contains motor and sensory nerve fibers to and from all parts of the body. Each spinal cord segment innervates a dermatome (see below and Figure 3.5). Similar cross-sectional structures at all spinal cord levels (Figure 3.1).

Detailed explanation-4: -You have two main types of nerves: Sensory nerves carry signals to your brain to help you touch, taste, smell and see. Motor nerves carry signals to your muscles or glands to help you move and function.

Detailed explanation-5: -Motor neurons These neurons transmit impulses from the spinal cord to skeletal and smooth muscles (such as those in your stomach), and so directly control all of our muscle movements.
