Spinal nerves are mixed nerves, meaning they contain both afferent (sensory) and efferent (motor) nerve fibers. This allows them to transmit both sensory information from the body to the central nervous system and motor commands from the central nervous system to the body.
Nerves vary in size. Nerves like the sciatic nerve are large while other are small. There are three types of nerves in the human body. Afferent, efferent, and mixed.
All the spinal nerves in their distribution are mixed nerves
spinal nerves are considered mixed, which means they?

Yes, the ventral root of a spinal nerve is the efferent motor root, consists of axons of motor neurons. It joins the dorsal root to form a mixed spinal nerve, which consists of afferent sensory neurons (from the dorsal root) and efferent motor neurons (from the ventral root). Therefore severing the ventral root will result in a loss of motor function for the myotome supplied by that spinal nerve.
Spinal nerves (aka mixed spinal nerves) are formed from the dorsal and ventral roots coming out of the spinal cord.A spinal nerve is made of mixed nerves. They have both sensory and a motor aspect. The roots of sensory fibers are on the dorsal side of the spinal cord.

Spinal nerves are said to be mixes because their posterior roots contain sensory axons and their anterior roots contain motor axons.
The human body has 43 pairs of mixed nerves, which include both sensory and motor fibers. These mixed nerves are responsible for transmitting sensory information to the central nervous system and conveying motor commands to muscles. The spinal nerves, originating from the spinal cord, are the primary examples of mixed nerves.
Spinal nerves are called mixed nerves because they all carry motor, sensory, and autonomic signals between the spinal cord and the body.
