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.
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.
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.
Connector neurons are specialized bipolar or multipolar neurons of the central nervous system. Connector neurons are also known as interneurons and connect sensory neurons.
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.
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.
Connector nerve cells connect the sensory nerve cells with motor nerve cells and allow for decision making.
Yes, the peripheral nervous system has both sensory and motor nerve cells

it is sensory
sensory nerve
There are three different types of neurone: sensory, relay and motor - which are involved in a reflex arc.
motor
The other name for the sensory nerve is sensory neuron. These are nerve cells that transmit sight, sound, and feelings.
