Sensory neurons have their cell bodies in the dorsal ganglion at the one or two segemental levels from the dendrite entry. They make a synapse onto interneurons in spinal cord. Motor neurons have their cell bodies in the spinal cord.

Can a nerve fibre and nerve both carry sensory and motor impulse Why?

Yes, a nerve fiber can carry both sensory and motor impulses, depending on the type of nerve. A mixed nerve contains both sensory (afferent) and motor (efferent) fibers, allowing it to transmit signals in both directions: sensory information from the body to the central nervous system and motor commands from the central nervous system to the muscles. However, individual nerve fibers typically specialize in either sensory or motor functions.

What is the difference between a sensory nerve and a motor nerve in terms of their functions within the nervous system?

Sensory nerves carry information from the body to the brain, allowing us to sense things like touch, temperature, and pain. Motor nerves, on the other hand, carry signals from the brain to the muscles, enabling movement and coordination. In summary, sensory nerves transmit sensory information to the brain, while motor nerves transmit signals from the brain to the muscles for movement.
