NEET PG DENTAL EXAM

Detailed explanation-1: -Somatic sensory neurons monitor the external environment. Visceral sensory neurons monitor the internal environment and organ systems. Within the peripheral nerves, somatic fibers innervate skin, muscle, joints and the walls of the body. Visceral fibers innervate blood vessels and internal organs.

Detailed explanation-2: -A sensory neuron (sometimes referred to as an afferent neuron) is a nerve cell that detects and responds to external signals. Sensory neurons receive information via their receptors, which are part of the peripheral nervous system, and convert this information into electrical impulses.

Detailed explanation-3: -Afferent neurons in the dorsal roots carry impulses from the body’s sensory receptors to the spinal cord, where the information begins to be processed.
