What is mixed neuron?

A mixed neuron is a type of nerve cell that contains both sensory and motor functions within a single cell body. These neurons are found in the peripheral nervous system and can transmit both sensory information from the body to the brain and motor signals from the brain to the muscles.


Can a nerve fibre survive without its cell?

No, a nerve fiber cannot survive without its cell, as the nerve fiber is an extension of the neuron, which is the cell responsible for its maintenance and function. The neuron provides essential support, including nutrients and electrical signals, necessary for the nerve fiber's survival. If the neuron dies, the nerve fiber will also degenerate and lose its ability to transmit signals.

How is a nerve specialised to carry out its function?

A nerve cell is called a neuron. The neuron has dendrites that receive impules from the previous neuron and send it to the cell body and an axon that transmits the impulse to the next neuron. There is a space between one cell's axon and the next cell's dendrites called a synapse. Neurotransmitters are released from the axon terminal to carry the impulse across the synapse.
