Question
Write about types of nerves.

Answer

Nerve is a group of neurons enclosed in a connective tissue sheath epineurium. It is classified as:
  1. Sensory nerve : A nerve having all sensory neurons is called sensory nerve. It carries information from sense organs to CNS. It is also called afferent nerve.
  2. Motor nerve : A nerve having all motor neurons is called motor nerve. It carries information from CNS to effector organs. It is also called efferent nerve.
  3. Mixed nerve : A nerve having with both sensory and motor neurons is called a mixed nerve. Sensory neurons in it carry nerve impulses from sense organs to CNS while motor neurons carry nerve impulses from CNS to effector organs.
