Spinal nerves are purely sensory and motor?

Spinal nerves are mixed nerves, meaning they contain both sensory and motor fibers. Sensory fibers transmit information from the body to the brain, while motor fibers carry signals from the brain to muscles, glands, and other effector organs. This dual function allows spinal nerves to both receive sensory input and initiate motor output.


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.


What are the three kinds of nervers?

The three kinds of nerves are sensory nerves, motor nerves, and mixed nerves. Sensory nerves transmit signals from sensory receptors to the central nervous system, allowing us to perceive stimuli. Motor nerves carry signals from the central nervous system to muscles, facilitating movement. Mixed nerves contain both sensory and motor fibers, enabling communication in both directions.


Cranial nerves is classified as mixed nerve?

Spinal nerves are called mixed nerves because they all carry motor, sensory, and autonomic signals between the spinal cord and the body.


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).

Can a nerve fibre and nerve both carry sensory and motor impulses?

There are the Mixed Nerves in the spinal column that carry both sensory and motor nerves, but these neurons have 2 different jobs that they do,& I know of no neurons doing both as the impulses travel to 2 different locations which couldn't be done at the same time.

Does a mixed nerve contain both sensory and motor neurons?

Yes, "Mixed nerves" of the peripheral nervous system contain both sensory and motor fibers


Are spinal nerves are sensory nerves?

Some are sensory nerves, some are motor nerves


Is it true that splanchnic nerves are mixed motor and sensory nerves?

Yes, splanchnic nerves are primarily composed of autonomic (motor) fibers that innervate the viscera (organs) of the abdomen. They carry information from the organs to the central nervous system but are not primarily sensory in nature.


What is another name for motor nerves, and how do they differ from sensory nerves in the nervous system?

Motor nerves are also known as efferent nerves. They differ from sensory nerves in the nervous system by carrying signals from the brain and spinal cord to muscles and glands, controlling movement and bodily functions. Sensory nerves, on the other hand, transmit signals from sensory organs to the brain and spinal cord, allowing us to perceive and respond to our environment.
