It depends upon what you are referring to as connecting. Most nerve cells do not connect to each other, but pass their impulse from one to the other via synapses. There are also places where nerve cell bodies cluster together in the peripheral nervous system, and this is known as a ganglion. When a group of nerves come close to each other and are covered in connective tissue for protection, it is called a plexus. The nerve do not actually connect to each other, but are wrapped together.

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.


The association nerve cells relay information from sensory nerve cells to motor nerve cells?

Actually, association nerve cells, also known as interneurons, primarily function to form connections between sensory and motor nerve cells, helping to integrate and process information within the nervous system. They play a crucial role in determining how the body responds to sensory information and in coordinating complex behaviors.


What is a connector nerve cell?

Connector neurons are specialized bipolar or multipolar neurons of the central nervous system. Connector neurons are also known as interneurons and connect sensory neurons.


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.
