Question

(0) Differentiate between sensory nerve and motor nerve.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Sensory Neuron

•Neurons that carry sensory impulse from sensory organs to the central nervous system are known as sensory neurons

•They are located in the dorsal root ganglion of the spinal nerve

•It is unipolar

•Comprises of a short axon

•An adult has an average of 10 million sensory nerves in the body

•Found in eyes, skin, ears, tongue and nose

Motor Neuron

•A neuron that carries motor impulses from the central nervous system to specific effectors is known as motor neurons.

•They are located in the ventral root ganglion of the spinal cord.

•It is multipolar

•Comprises of a long axon

•Half million of motor neurons are found in the body

•Found in muscles and glands

Answer 2

Answer:

1.Sensory nerves have short axon while motor nerves have large axon.

2.Sensory nerves have one long dendron while motor nerves have many dendrons.

3.Sensory nerves transmit impulses from receptors to CNS while motor nerves transmit impulses from CNS to receptors.

4.Sensory nerves have dendrites located in CNS and axons outside the CNS while motor nerves have axon located in CNS and dendrites outside the CNS.
