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.

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.
