Question
- how do sensory nerves differ in function from motor nerves?the pns controls sensory nerves and the cns controls motor nerves.the cns controls sensory nerves and the pns controls motor nerves.sensory nerves carry information away from cns, and motor nerves carry information to the cns.sensory nerves carry information to the cns, and motor nerves carry information away from the cns.
Sensory nerves are afferent neurons that transmit signals from sensory receptors (like skin, eyes) to the Central Nervous System (CNS) to relay information about the environment or body state. Motor nerves are efferent neurons that carry signals from the CNS to muscles, glands, or organs to initiate movement or responses. The first two options are incorrect because both sensory and motor nerves are part of the Peripheral Nervous System (PNS), with the CNS processing signals rather than directly controlling the nerve types in that way. The third option reverses the correct direction of signal transmission.
