    Here are the differences between sensory nerves and motor nerves:

    Aspect Sensory Nerves Motor Nerves
    Function Carry sensory information from sensory receptors to the central nervous system (CNS). Transmit signals from the CNS to muscles and glands to elicit a response.
    Direction of Impulse Conduct impulses toward the CNS. Conduct impulses away from the CNS.
    Types of Information Involved in sensations such as touch, pain, temperature, sight, sound, taste, and smell. Involved in controlling voluntary and involuntary movements of muscles.
    Composition Comprised mainly of afferent (incoming) nerve fibers. Comprised mainly of efferent (outgoing) nerve fibers.
    Examples Optic nerve (vision), auditory nerve (hearing), and sensory nerves in the skin. Motor nerves controlling skeletal muscles and autonomic nerves regulating smooth muscles and glands.

    These differences highlight the distinct roles of sensory and motor nerves in the nervous system.
