    Nerve Types and Functions

    • Afferent nerves transmit signals from sensory neurons to the central nervous system, allowing us to perceive and respond to the environment.
    • Efferent nerves have the role of transmitting signals from the central nervous system to muscles and glands, enabling movement and control of various bodily functions.
    • The most common type of nerves are mixed nerves, which contain both afferent and efferent fibers, allowing for bidirectional communication between the central nervous system and the periphery.
