Explanation:

The main 2 types of nerves are sensory nerves and motor nerves. Sensory nerves also known as afferent nerves, carry impulses from sensory receptors towards the brain. Motor nerves also known as efferent nerves, carry impulses away from the brain to muscles and glands.

There are three types of nerves: motor, sensory and mixed. Sensory nerves also referred to as afferent nerves, carry impulses from sensory receptors towards the brain. Example: These nerves carry the impulses from the sense organs to the brain or to the spinal cord as the optic nerve of the eye.
