peripheral nerves are either motor, meaning that they are involved in motor activity such as walking, or sensory, meaning that they carry sensory information back to the CNS
peripheral nervous system
The network of sensory and motor nerves together is called the peripheral nervous system.
Yes, the nerves in the leg are considered peripheral to the spinal cord. They are part of the peripheral nervous system, which consists of all the nerves that branch out from the central nervous system (CNS), including the spinal cord and brain. These peripheral nerves facilitate communication between the CNS and the limbs, allowing for motor and sensory functions in the legs.
The two types of peripheral nerves are somatic and autonomic nerves.
Peripheral nerves.
The three types of nerves in the spinal cord are: afferent, efferent, and interneurons.
Herbert H. Schaumburg has written: 'Disorders of peripheral nerves' -- subject(s): Diseases, Nerves, Peripheral, Peripheral Nerves
The two types of nerves in the peripheral nervous system are sensory (afferent) nerves and motor (efferent) nerves. Sensory nerves transmit sensory information from the body to the central nervous system, allowing for the perception of stimuli like touch, pain, and temperature. In contrast, motor nerves carry signals from the central nervous system to muscles and glands, facilitating movement and physiological responses. Together, these nerves play crucial roles in communication between the body and the brain.
Yes, "Mixed nerves" of the peripheral nervous system contain both sensory and motor fibers
Peripheral Nervous System (PNS) original answer by btbchris
The peripheral nervous system contains mixed nerves (both sensory and motor) that the musculoskeletal needs to function.
cranial nerves are nerves which arise from different parts of brain that are paired and 12 pair and 24 in number. peripheral nerves are neurons that exists out side brain and spinalcord and make up peripheral nerve system.
