the body has both sensory and motor neurones because the sensory neurones sense what is happening and sends the message along and like a motor the motor neurones pass on the message constantly round and round until it reaches its destination

What is the connection between sensory nerves and the neurons in the brain?
Sensory nerves transmit information from sensory receptors in the body to the neurons in the brain. When sensory receptors detect stimuli such as touch, temperature, or pain, they send signals through sensory nerves to the brain. Neurons in the brain then process and interpret these signals, allowing us to perceive and respond to the sensory information.
What is the ascending nerve tract?
Nerve are bi-directional (they travel in both direction) as they carry both snesory and motor neurones (which are uni-directional). However the white matter (the part that carries the impulses) in the spinal chord can be split in two. The anterior part (front part) carries the descenging, motor neurones. These are better termed the Efferent neurones which means they are travelling away from the central nervous system (CNS). The posterior part (or back part) carries the ascending, sensory neurones. These are better termed Afferent neurones which means they are travelling towards the CNS. In short the "ascending" nerve tract is the part of the spinal chord that carries sensory neurones.
What is the similarities of neurons and motor neurons?
Functionally, neurons come in three varieties; motor neurons, sensory neurons and interneurons. Motor neurons conduct motor impulses from the CNS to the muscles. Sensory neurons conduct motor impulses from the rest of the body to the CNS. Interneurons connect the sensory to the motor so we can respond to incoming sensory stimuli.
Are the limbs innervated by the motor and sensory neurons?
Yes, the limbs are innervated by both motor and sensory neurons.
Are the spinal nerve both sensory and motor?
motor
Is vagus nerve a motor nerve?
its both motor and sensory
What is the term for nerves carrying both sensory and motor fibers?
Nerves carrying both sensory and motor fibers are called sensorimotor nerves.
Spinal nerves are purely sensory and motor?
Spinal Nerves Are Both Sensory and Motor. Spinal nerves are not one or the other.
Where can both sensory and motor fibers be found together?
Mixed nerves like the spinal nerves have both sensory afferents and motor efferents.
Does a mixed nerve contain both sensory and motor neurons?

Does the ANS contain both sensory and motor neurons?
False
Mixed nerve house?
Both sensory and motor neurons...
