Question

Name the types of nerves based on impulses they conduct.

Answer 1

Nerves:

1. Nerves are the fundamental structural and functional unit of the peripheral nervous system.
2. They contain the nerve cells or neurons that help in signal transduction and processing.

Types of nerves:

Nerves are of two types based on the impulse they conduct. They are:

1. Sensory nerves:

• They carry sensory information from sensory organs to the CNS.
• They are unipolar neurons.
• They are located at the dorsal ganglion part of the spinal cord.

2. Motor nerves:

• They carry motor impulses from the CNS to effector organs.
• They are multipolar neurons.
• They are located at the ventral ganglion part of the spinal cord.
