Mixed Nerve
Summary
A
mixed nerve
is a type of nerve in the
peripheral nervous system
that contains both
afferent sensory fibers
and
efferent motor fibers
, enabling it to
transmit signals
in both directions between the
central nervous system
and the body. This dual-functionality allows
mixed nerve
s to play a crucial role in coordinating
sensory input
with
motor output
, facilitating
complex reflexes
and
voluntary movements
.
