State the functions of sensory and motor nerves.

Sensory nerves are responsible for transmitting information from the body's sensory receptors (such as touch, temperature, pain, and proprioception) to the central nervous system. Motor nerves, on the other hand, are responsible for transmitting signals from the central nervous system to muscles and glands, allowing for voluntary and involuntary movements and bodily functions.

Sensory Nerves:

- Transmit sensory information from the body's external and internal environments to the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord).
- Detect various stimuli, such as:
- Temperature changes (thermoreceptors)
- Pressure (baroreceptors)
- Pain (nociceptors)
- Vision (photoreceptors)
- Hearing (auditory receptors)

Motor Nerves:

- Transmit commands from the central nervous system to muscles and glands.
- Control voluntary and involuntary movements, such as:
- Movement of limbs and body parts
- Contraction of muscles in the heart and digestive system
- Secretion of hormones from glands
