Question

what is the difference between sensory nerve and motor nerve​

Answer 1

Answer:

Sensory nerves contain only afferent fibers, long dendrites of sensory neurons. Motor nerves have only efferent fibers, long axons of motor neurons. Mixed nerves contain both types of fibers.Sensory Neuron Motor Neuron

Neurons that carry sensory impulse from sensory organs to the central nervous system are known as sensory neurons A neuron that carries motor impulses from the central nervous system to specific effectors is known as motor neurons.

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

It is unipolar It is multipolar

Comprises of a short axon Comprises of a long axon

An adult has an average of 10 million sensory nerves in the body Half million of motor neurons are found in the body

Found in eyes, skin, ears, tongue and nose Found in muscles and glands

The main difference between sensory and motor neuron is their function and structure. Both these neurons enable the central nervous system to coordinate different function

Answer 2

Explanation:

Sensory nerves contain only afferent fibers, long dendrites of sensory neurons. Motor nerves have only efferent fibers, long axons of motor neurons. Mixed nerves contain both types of fibers.
