Comparison between tract and nerve

  Comparison between tract and nerve Nerve Nerve contain bundle of axons (nerve fibers) in the peripheral nervous system (PNS) that transmits signals between the central nervous system (CNS) and other parts of the body. It is the most important part of peripheral nervous system Location: Peripheral nervous system. Structure: Made of axons, connective tissue layers (endoneurium: axon is surrounded by it , perineurium: bundle of axons are surrounded by it, epineurium: whole nerve trunk is surrounded by it), and blood vessels. It gets myelination by Schwann cell   Function: Carries sensory signals to the CNS (afferent) from peripheral part of body or motor signals carry from from the CNS (efferent) to target organs like skeletal muscle, cardiac muscle, smooth muscle or glands Example: Sciatic nerve, median nerve, except optic nerve (though optic nerve is technically part of CNS in develop...

Difference between superficial and deep cardiac plexus Superficial cardiac plexus Deep cardiac plexus It is situated below the arch of aorta It is situated behind the arch of aorta It is situated in front of the bifurcation of pulmonary trunk , It is situated in front of the bifurcation of trachea, It is slight anteromedial to the legamentum arteriosum It is right of legamentum arteriosum   It is smaller than the deep cardiac plexus It is bigger than the superficial cardiac plexus It is situated more anteriorly It is situated more posteriorly It is formed by cardiac branch of superior cervical ganglion of left cervical sympathetic chain and inferior cervical cardiac branch of left vagus It is formed by all the cardiac branches of superior , middel and inferior cervical ganglion , upper 4-5 thoracic ganglion of the sympathetic chain , all the cardiac branches of vagus and recur...

Difference between sensory neuron and motor neuron

Sensory neuron Motor neuron transmit sensory information (light, sounds, smell, touch, pressure, limb position) to the brain Carry signals from brain to  the effectors like muscles and glands Dendrites from the cell bodies are located outside of the CNS; the axons propagate to the spinal cord or brainstem to convey information to the brain. Are situated in the anterior horn cell of gray matter of spinal cord Example: Pseudounipolar neuron present in dorsal root ganglion of spinal nerve root Bipolar neuron : in olfactory cell , in retina Multipolar neuron
