Answers
Answer:
Nerves are a collection of neurons, which are the individual nerve cells. Nerves can be damaged by diabetes - known as neuropathy.
A neuron has a soma (the cell body) which includes the cell nucleus, dendrites which conduct stimulation of the nerve, one or more axons which provide nerves with their length and axon terminals which transmit impulses to other nerves.
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.
