A mixed nerve contains which type of nerves?
a mixed nerve carry both motor and sensory nerves
The dorsal root of a spinal nerve contain what?
axons of sensory neurons
How many types of neurons?
There are three types of neurons. 1.Sensory neurons: which carry impulses from the sense organs to the brain and spinal cord. 2.Motor neurons : which perform an opposite function to that of sensory neurons by carrying impulses from the brain and spinal cord to muscles and glands. 3. Inter neurons : which connect sensory and motor neurons and carry impulses between them.
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.
Spinal nerve contains both motor and sensory nerve fibers for 2-way communications?
yes
Why sensory neurons are called as afferent neurons?
The reason why Sensory neurons are called as afferent neurons is:_ Afferent Neurons mean the neurons carries the nerve impulse toward the brain (CNS) or the spinal cord (PNS)._ Sensory which always begins from the outside spaces, or peripheral places outside from CNS or PNS, need to be carried to CNS or PNS to analyze.That's the reason why they called sensory neurons as afferent neurons which bring sensor toward the brain or spinal cord and it's exactly the way where sensory goes
What links the sensory neurons and motor neurons?
Interneurones.
Is ventral root a loss of motor function?
Yes, the ventral root of a spinal nerve is the efferent motor root, consists of axons of motor neurons. It joins the dorsal root to form a mixed spinal nerve, which consists of afferent sensory neurons (from the dorsal root) and efferent motor neurons (from the ventral root). Therefore severing the ventral root will result in a loss of motor function for the myotome supplied by that spinal nerve.
What type of neurons are responsible for transmitting nerve impulses from the spinal cord to the effector?
Signals are transmitted through the spinal cord and brain via neurons.
What is a spinal nerve?
A spinal nerve which carries motor, sensory, and autonomic signals between the spinal cord and the body.
What Nerve to the brain triggers pain?
Afferent nerves carry impulses to the CNS (central nervous system: brain/spinal chord).
What contains the cranial nerve and spinal nerve?
Spinal Accessory Nerve
