Q
Where do motor and sensory fibers of the cranial send signals and where are their cell bodies located?
A
- Motor fibers that carry signals from the central nervous system (CNS) to the muscles and glands. The cell bodies of these motor fibers are located inside the CNS.
- Sensory fibers that carry signals from the body to the CNS. The cell bodies of these sensory fibers are located in clusters called sensory ganglia, which are found outside the CNS.
