Question

Which of the following contains both afferent and efferent axon?

• A. Sensory nerves
• B. Motor nerves
• C. Mixed nerves
• D. All of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is C Mixed nerves

Mixed nerve or relay nerve contain both afferent and efferent axons. It conducts both incoming sensory information and outgoing muscle commands in the same bundle. Afferent nerves or sensory neurons conduct signals from sense organs to central nervous system, for example from the mechanoreceptors in skin. Efferent nerves or motor neurons conduct signals from the central nervous system along motor neurons to their target muscles and glands.
