What else can I help you with?
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.
Is vagus nerve a motor nerve?
Yes, the vagus nerve is a mixed nerve that contains both motor and sensory fibers. It is responsible for controlling various involuntary bodily functions such as heart rate, digestion, and breathing.
What nerve that contains fibers that both send and receive messages is called?
A mixed nerve, such as the trigeminal nerve, contains both sensory and motor fibers that can send and receive messages. These nerves are responsible for carrying both sensory information from the body to the brain and motor commands from the brain to the muscles.
The peripherral nervous system has sensory nerve cells and motor nerve cells?
Yes, the peripheral nervous system consists of sensory nerve cells that transmit sensory information from the body to the central nervous system, and motor nerve cells that transmit signals from the central nervous system to the muscles and glands to elicit a response.
Mixed cranial nerves containing both motor and sensory fibers include trigeminal?
The trigeminal nerve (cranial nerve V) is a mixed cranial nerve that contains both sensory and motor fibers. It is responsible for sensation in the face and motor functions such as biting and chewing. The sensory component detects touch, pain, and temperature from the face, while the motor component innervates the muscles of mastication. Other mixed cranial nerves include the facial nerve (VII), glossopharyngeal nerve (IX), and vagus nerve (X).
Is inferior alveolar nerve sensory or motor?
it is sensory
Are cranial nerves motor or sensory?
sensory nerve
Does the peripheral nervous system have sensory nerve cells and motor nerve cells.?
Yes, the peripheral nervous system has both sensory and motor nerve cells
Are the spinal nerve both sensory and motor?
motor
Is vagus nerve a motor nerve?
Yes, the vagus nerve is a mixed nerve that contains both motor and sensory fibers. It is responsible for controlling various involuntary bodily functions such as heart rate, digestion, and breathing.
Is the trigeminal nerve primarily responsible for sensory or motor functions?
The trigeminal nerve is primarily responsible for sensory functions.
Is nasal nerve motor or sensory?
The nasal nerves is sensory as it is for your sense of smell.
Is the impulse transmission for the spinal nerve sensory or motor?
No
Is olfactory a sensory or motor nerve?
Olfaction is the sense of smell.The Olfactory System is the sensory system used for Olfaction (smelling).So in short, Its a sensory system (nerve) not a motor nerve.Think of motor nerves as nerves that cause a change in something, such as muscle motor nerves cause the muscle to contract.Sensory Nerves 'sense' the environment around them and then transfer this information on to other parts of the body such as the brain.
A mixed nerve contains which type of nerves?
A mixed nerve contains both sensory and motor nerves. Sensory nerves carry information from sensory receptors to the central nervous system, while motor nerves carry signals from the central nervous system to muscles and glands.
What nerve is a mixed cranial nerve that conducts sensory impulses from and motor impulses from and motor impulses to the thoracic and abdominal viscera?
vagus nerve
What is the opposite of motor nerve?
A motor nerve falls under the category of efferent nerves, its opposite would be an afferent nerve, usually called a sensory nerve.
