Detailed explanation-2: -The sensory-somatic nervous system is made up of cranial and spinal nerves and contains both sensory and motor neurons.

Detailed explanation-3: -Nerves of the peripheral nervous system are classified based on the types of neurons they contain-sensory, motor or mixed nerves (if they contain both sensory and motor neurons), as well as the direction of information flow – towards or away from the brain.

Detailed explanation-4: -Nerve fibers of the PNS are classified according to their involvement in motor or sensory, somatic or visceral pathways. Mixed nerves contain both motor and sensory fibers. Sensory nerves contain mostly sensory fibers; they are less common and include the optic and olfactory nerves. Motor nerves contain motor fibers.
